StressDecks

Stress isn't one thing, it's a collection.

StressDecks helps you to find micro-stressors and match them with strategies for mitigating & managing them.

Start your deck Log in

Try it. Tap a card to flip it and see its strategy.

It's the small stuff

A flat phone battery. A vague email. No clean mug.

None of them is a big deal, but they add up.

StressDecks puts them all on cards, so you can see the whole collection clearly.

How it works

Step 1

Find.

Start with a ready-made set of stressor cards. Keep the ones that are yours, drop the ones that aren't, and write your own.

Step 2

Match.

Give a stressor a strategy card: something you can do before it happens, or while it's happening.

Step 3

Repeat.

One card at a time. Your deck shows how many stressors are still unmatched.

Straight with you

I'm just a stressed dad looking for ways to manage.

I built StressDecks for myself. It's based on reading, research and experience, and it hasn't been tested. It's free, and you use it at your own risk.

The idea of microstressors comes from Rob Cross and Karen Dillon. Read about their book
