I highly agree that any kind of live event planner job is a super stressful one. In many ways we are all event planners and managers because we each are responsible for managing our own life, and sometimes its harder than others. I think that production managers are very similar to event planners in many aspects, because both are running the ship and their is a deadline which everything needs to be done and set, then something live for public viewing is going to happen. The ways that the author lists for dealing with the stress of the job are nothing new or original. Whenever you look at ways at how to manage stress they are all the same, take a break and move your body. I think that for people like production managers and stage managers and event planners as important as managing stress is, sometimes these ways are just not possible. I was hoping this article could gives easy and practical ways to manage the stress managers and planners feel.
