How stress affects our brain

Write. It may help to write about things that are bothering you. Write for 10 to 15 minutes a day about stressful events and how they made you feel.

Let your feelings out. Talk, laugh, cry, and express when you need to. Talking with friends, family, a counselor, or a member of the clergy about your feelings is a healthy way to relieve stress.

Do something you enjoy. You may feel that you're too busy to do these things. But making time to do something you enjoy can help you relax.

Focus on the present. Meditation and guided imagery are two ways to focus and relax your mind.

Exercise. Regular exerciseis one of the best ways to manage stress. Walking is a great way to get started. Even everyday activities such as housecleaning or yard work can reduce stress. Stretching can also relieve muscle tension. For more information about becoming more active, see the topic Fitness.

Disclaimer: I look at it like this. It's arguable and others may have different prospect about it.

but not too much

If we missed a deadline or messed up something then being stressed about it will not help anything.

What is done in done? We can't do anything about it. What's in our hands is, 'what can we do next'? How can we prevent that in future?

What we can do in future is to communicate early & clearly

Failure is not a bad thing. If it happen once and you learn from it.

Experience is not the amount of days you are working, it's the sum of Failure you have in your career.

There are six steps in the original technique:

Decide on the task to be done.
Set the pomodoro timer (traditionally to 25 minutes).
Work on the task.
End work when the timer rings and put a checkmark on a piece of paper.
If you have fewer than four checkmarks, take a short break (3–5 minutes), then go to step 2.
After four pomodoros, take a longer break (15–30 minutes), reset your checkmark count to zero, then go to step 1.
