Don't spread rumors. Once you get out of the ubiquitous circle of gossip in the workplace, you will find that your working day is much less stressful. This applies to talking about personal life, too.
-
Find your own lunch ritual. Take your lunch in a way when you will not be disturbed.

Clean up your desk. If you have old documents and dirty dishes all around, it is wrong. Period.

Ask what is going on. Regularly ask your colleagues and superiors about what is new in your department.

Divide your to-do list into two list - a short-term and a long-term one. When determining priorities, be as honest to yourself as possible. Focus on what matters most even if it is not very pleasant.

Don't be afraid to ask for help. A timely request for help is much better than when you come begging at the last minute.

Drink plenty of water. Try to replace coffee with water and you will avoid hard energy fluctuations.
