  INTRODUCTION
  The term paper is devoted to the problems of work and home-related stress and ways of managing it.
  Times are changing. Technology has influenced many changes in how we think and how we interact in our everyday lives and in the workplace. In our fast paced world where the internet, cell phones and e-mail have become as common as the ball point pen, gone are the days of waiting. Everything is accessible at a “click” of the mouse or button. Nowadays, we are operating at warp speed at the speed of light. Although these methods have become convenient for some, it has also become a double-edged sword because in a fast paced working environment, operating at such a high speed can produce workplace stress. Bills, kids, household chores, spousal relationships all can cause home stress. In addition to day-to-day stressors, crises like a fire or a death within the family place maximum stress on family relationships. Research shows that third of people between 25 and 44 years main cause of stress found in their work, where stress at work is causes with 30 percent of men, while for women the percentage is double lower. Family causes stress in 29 percent of women and 9 percent of men. All these factors make the problem of managing work and home stress vital.
  1. STRESS: DEFINITION AND TYPES
  There have been many different definitions of what stress is, whether used by psychologists, medics, management consultants or others. There seems to have been something approaching open warfare between competing definitions: Views have been passionately held and aggressively defended.
  What complicates this is that intuitively we all feel that we know what stress is, as it is something we have all experienced. A definition should therefore be obvious…except that it is not.
  Problems of Definition.
  One problem with a single definition is that stress is made up of many things: It is a family of related experiences, pathways, responses and outcomes caused by a range of different events or circumstances. Different people experience different aspects and identify with different definitions.
  The word stress is derived from the Latin word "stringi", which means, "to be drawn tight". Stress can be defined as follows:
  Hans Selye (one of the founding fathers of stress research) identified another part of this problem when he saw that different types of definition operate in different areas of knowledge. To a lawyer or a linguist, words have very precise, definite and fixed meanings. In other fields, ideas and definitions continue evolving as research and knowledge expands.
