What are the most common verbal and body language signs of stress?

The best list I can think of is the section on playing low status in Impro - in general these correlate with social anxiety. A handful off the top of my head that I notice regularly: * Breaking eye contact while speaking. * Jittery movements and speech patterns. * Shrinking body language to take up less space. * Smiling too much.

I'm giving up Twitter and Reddit.

I've actually been off of both for a few days now. I was planning to take a week hiatus, but it's going well (I'm more focused), so I'll keep going through Lent.

Going to do the same. edit: Might still look at Reddit on my phone at work sometimes when taking a break, but not at home.

I limit my ability to take fun breaks by blocking sites like Twitter and Reddit, or any site I'm spending a lot of time on. When I take a break I have nothing interesting or distracting to do, and soon I'm bored enough to start working again.
