Stress and Computer Security

This week I learn a valuable lesson about stress reduction, how we can effectively decrease stress in our lives.

As a teenager I was never fond of doing my work I hated it and would avoid it at all cost. After having served a mission however i began to understand the benefits from effective study habits. What might you say does this have to do with stress and not doing my work? Well I discovered this week as applied some of the habits that I had developed on my mission I spent less time being stressed out about my school work needing to be done because i had done it! I began to think about this a little bit more after having ports explained to me. A computer has many ports and those that are left open and unattended are prime points for an attack. If one relates this to stress we have many points or "ports" in our lives that if left unattended can act as if they were open ports where not a hacker but stress can attack.

To conclude as I find these different ports in my life and effectively address them I will be decreasing the number of possible "stress attacks" that reduction will help me to be more effective and productive in a world full of fast-paced work environments and deadlines.
