I've found something very simple which has helped me feel slightly less stressed recently which is disabling the battery percentage indicator on my phone.
Funny as it may sound, I've already noticed how many times I would have looked at it and thought "omg it's already gone down ten percent, is this going to last me the day? I should stop using it right now"

Similarly, hiding clocks from my sight has been helpful when working to a deadline. You don't need to know every minute that you've got one minute less to complete your tasks.

I believe, when treating this as a metaphor, this is surely the key point answer to relieve stress overall.

Like for me I could see my source of stress being the way i registrate my work hours.

"Ok ive sat with this since 09:10 to 11:26 ok its approx 1.5h ok 6.5h remains today"
