Stressful Situations

[Teapot]

How do you deal with any type of stressful situations around your forum or website? ( For example, perhaps part of your coding gets deleted and you need to Re-write it up) Are you good with managing stress?

My idea of handling stress is a "omg this happened...now how am I going to deal with it?"

I think to myself how I'm going to fix or "relieve" the situation, not how it happened or why on earth I was stupid enough to hit the wrong keys and all my code get deleted. Stress is thinking about the situation and worrying about everything from what could happen to what is happening, and the only way I can handle the stress is not to think about it, and just find ways to fix whatever is going on.

I believe in the whole "things happen for a reason" - which relieves most of my stress, because I know it happened for a reason, now I need to find out what that reason is.

Now granite, some things do stress me out, especially when members are fighting or a staff member causes issues, however I try and relax, because this is the internet, there is not that many things to legitimately stress over.

Now in real life, haha, I'm like a stress magnet. But that's a whole different story. 😛

I would say I am pretty good in managing stress. For example, I was typing a very long post and then I accidentally deleted the tab and lost all of it. What did I do? Just write it up again on a word document and save it. Sometimes things will go wrong and what I do is not let that stress me out but instead work out a better solution for it next time and make sure you become more and more careful. When things goes wrong, don't worry and just try to find a solution. Don't feel annoyed because that will only slow you down when doing work.
