I was hence stressed when I started off with the assignment as I had to complete the task within a short time frame of 3 days. It was important to separate the valuable information from that of the ones that were less important and hence this took up a large amount of time. In the event of chalking out the manner that I would undertake to approach the assignment I felt calm and relieved (Fard, Talebinezhad and Eghlidi 2017).
