During the working progress in modern business activity every worker ought to spread his attention between various objectives simultaneously. The efficiency of every worker will be worsen by stress regardless of its sort and origins which caused it. Doctors announce that the permanent distraction of attention can cause significant stresses in quite a small period of time. The worker can not ponder over the basic job he ought to perform as there are lots of distracting factors, such as telephone calls, ICQ messages and others.
