This is all individual though. Some people (me) will not switch to be a morning person no matter what you do. I've tried numerous times. I'd say the only way out is to be aware of whether you have too much stressful stuff on your plate, and either not add more, or proactively remove. Say "no" to more things. Say "yes" a lot less. Manage your commitments. Without this awareness people take on too much stuff, which can only end in tears for everyone involved for several simple reasons: - If you continue biting off more than you can chew, eventually you will fail to deliver on your obligations, and you'll be too stressed to do your best work - If you never say "no", you pretty much don't respect yourself, and therefore other people will not respect you. I feel like this affects women more, because they try to be more agreeable and avoid confrontation at all costs. As they say "if you let people walk over you, eventually they will complain you're not flat enough". That is very, very true. I wish I learned this lesson much earlier than I did. My wife still hasn't learned it though. - As a manager: if you're worried about your career progression, the way to achieve that is by taking a few significant chunks of responsibility, and delivering them with high quality and in at a predictable cadence, NOT taking on a million different things and delivering half baked shit way after it's needed by your team. In the former case you've succeeded and delivered, in the latter case you've failed, and worse, you've made your boss and your team appear like a bunch of idiots. _And_ on top of that your hair is now falling out because you're stressed AF.
