The term "stress" in a psychological context refers to "what I feel when I have too much to get done." However, in a physical context, stress is defined as "force applied to a material" and can also relate to the change in shape (deformation) of an object.

In summary:
- **Psychological/Emotional Context**: Stress = feeling overwhelmed or anxious due to too much to do.
- **Physics/Engineering Context**: Stress = force applied to a material (often measured as force per unit area).

Both definitions of stress are correct, but they apply in different contexts.
