1 Assess your situation

The first step to balance your workload and priorities is to assess your current situation and identify your main tasks, projects, and objectives. Use tools like ticketing systems, calendars, or Kanban boards to organize your work. Also consider the urgency and complexity of each task, as well as the expectations of your stakeholders. This will help you prioritize your work and avoid wasting time on low-value or irrelevant activities.

Unfollowed SystemAdministration. I am absolutely sick of these AI generated articles and the expectation on us to "edit" them and correct the (often dangerous) advice given. You lose brownie points for this, LinkedIn.

2 Plan and schedule your work

Once you have a clear picture of your situation, plan your work accordingly. Set realistic and achievable deadlines and deliverables for each task and project. Also allocate enough time for testing, documentation, and communication. You can use tools like Gantt charts, time trackers, or automation scripts to help you plan and execute your work efficiently. You can't always plan for every issue, but setting goals can help you keep track of what you can control and better respond to what you can't control. Also, review and update your plan regularly to account for changes or issues that may arise. (This section has been updated by LinkedIn editors based on member feedback.)

Most of a sysadmin's work comes either from projects or from emergencies - both being out of the sysadmin's control, which makes setting goals almost irrelevant. Planning as far ahead as possible is essential, but the goals can only be qualitative, such as "no more than 1 defect per 100 tasks".

Planning is crucial despite the unpredictability. Set realistic deadlines, use tools like Gantt charts and automation scripts for efficiency, and allocate time for testing and documentation. Regularly update your plan to adapt to changes, ensuring flexibility and responsiveness to both projects and emergencies.

3 Communicate and collaborate

Communicate effectively with your team, clients, and other stakeholders. Keep them informed of your progress, challenges, and feedback. Also seek their input, support, and approval when necessary. Email, chat, or video conferencing can help you keep in touch and collaborate with colleagues. And don't forget to establish clear responsibilities and expectations for each task and project.

4 Delegate, automate, and outsource

Sometimes, you may have more work than you can handle or skills that you lack. In such cases, consider delegating or outsourcing some of your tasks to others who can help you. Delegate tasks that are repetitive or non-critical to your team members, freelancers, or contractors. Automate routine tasks that don't require as much human oversight. And outsource tasks that require specialized skills you do not have or need to learn. This will help you free up your time and focus on your core tasks.

The sysadmin is very close to the systems and responsible for the good working of the systems, so a sysadmin would automate the routine tasks or do those tasks themselves rather than give other people full access over the systems they are responsible for. The exception here would a quite large organization with very specialized teams.

5 Learn and improve

Always strive to learn and improve your system administration skills and knowledge. Keep up with the latest trends, technologies, and best practices in your field. Also seek feedback, advice, and mentoring from your peers, managers, or experts. Evaluate your performance and outcomes regularly and identify your strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement. This will help you enhance your efficiency and value as a system administrator.

Learning, improving and "keeping up" isn't just a personal responsibility. Management must support training, education and collaboration as part of the compensated workload. You can't expect every Sysadmin to spend every waking hour at a keyboard surrounded by pizza boxes and energy drinks.
