Prioritize and execute. You’re taught in the military to break things down as small as you need to for it to become digestible. You’d eat an elephant one bite at a time. Break tasks down to as small as you need to feel “accomplishable” and build momentum of small wins!

Utilizing the Eisenhower Matrix, which categorizes tasks based on urgency and importance, is a valuable tool for prioritizing workload. This methodology facilitates identifying tasks that require immediate attention, those suitable for delegation, and those that can be eliminated altogether, ultimately optimizing efficiency while maintaining focus and quality.

In my experience, i would highlight the role of technology and productivity tools in streamlining workflows and improving efficiency. I would discuss popular tools such as project management software, task management apps, and automation tools that can help organize tasks and optimize processes. I would encourage participants to explore and experiment with different tools to find ones that best suit their needs and preferences. Effective Communication and Collaboration: as well as stress the importance of clear communication and collaboration with colleagues or team members to streamline work processes.

Focus on completing priority tasks first to ensure critical work gets done. Large tasks can be stressful, so break them down into smaller, more manageable subtasks. Likewise, reduce distractions to maintain focus and productivity and find a quiet space to work.

Feeling overloaded? Delegate! But choose wisely. Match tasks to someone's strengths and experience. Don't overload them, and consider your communication styles. Clear instructions and setting them up for success are key. Delegate well, and you'll free up time for higher-level tasks without sacrificing quality.

Once you know what to delegate, pick the best person for the job. Consider someone who has the skills and availability to handle the task efficiently. Think about a colleague who excels at organizing and ask them to help with the paperwork.

Skills, ability, availability, workload, interest and motivation are really important when it comes to identifying the right persons for the right job but delegation means hands off the work but eyes on work that’s why I will highlight more on motivation and availability the rest can be achieved with the right supervision provided workload is not a hinderance

Prioritize: Clearly communicate task urgency to yourself and others. This helps identify what's critical now and what can wait. Set realistic deadlines: Be upfront about your workload and negotiate achievable deadlines with managers or clients. Delegate effectively: Explain your situation and delegate tasks when possible. Provide clear instructions and ensure support. Communicate progress: Keep your manager informed about progress and any roadblocks you encounter.

When delegating tasks, make sure to explain everything clearly. Provide clear instructions and expectations to avoid any misunderstandings. Imagine explaining to your colleague exactly what needs to be done and when it's due.

Track time: Identify hidden time sinks. Prioritize ruthlessly: Focus on high-impact tasks first. Batch tasks: Group similar activities for better focus. Use technology: Project management tools boost efficiency. Schedule breaks: Short breaks keep your mind sharp. Analyze and adapt: Learn from your progress and refine your approach. Set boundaries: Don't be afraid to say no to extra work.

For me time management was the key to managing stress. I would work the same number of hours but I would come into work very early, hours before the working day started or colleagues started to arrive. I would prioritise and allocate man hours time to my workload then I would calculate how many hours earlier I would need to come in to complete the work before the start of the normal day. This allowed me to concentrate and produce quality work and meet deadlines without interruptions. It is amazing how much worktime is wasted during the day with interruptions, meetings, etc.

Keep track of the tasks you've delegated and regularly check in on progress. Offer support and guidance as needed to ensure things are on track. Consider setting up regular check-ins with your colleague to see how the paperwork is coming along.

Prioritize your tasks from most important to least important, daily. As you knock out your top items you will naturally work your way through the list. If you hit the end of the day and have the bottom 2 left, throw them into the next day's tasks and filter them accordingly. Root cause analysis and Lean Principals will also help you become more efficient. Take another look at your processes. Can they be refined? Can you delegate some tasks to peers? Are some processes outdated? Make sure to set boundaries and communicate expectations with your leader, peers, and employees.

Some ways to get started. Take a break and do some deep breathing. Take some light snack that pull your mood up, if you are like me, food give me some great energy or give a good friend a call to take your mind off the work - am sure when you get back to it, you can blissfully finish it off.

It's common but it needs attention for the mental well being. There are some ways which i think can halp. 1. Don't take on more than you can hadle 2. Asking for help is a great way to reduce some burden as well as it helps to build a relation. but do not depend on it... 3. Learn to say NO 4. Have a friend to whom you can talk. 5. Delegating tasks to right person. 6. Try to keep a backup of the task you delegated. 7. You can disagree on any argument if you feel so... don't hesitate to put your opinion and be open to be corrected...

Very insightful. Putting your mind at easy and refreshing is vital. It brings your focus back to tackle the job ahead with more energy.

Remember to prioritize your own tasks and workload. Take breaks when needed to avoid burnout, and don't be afraid to ask for help if you need it. Consider setting aside time each day to focus on your most important tasks and break large projects into smaller, manageable tasks.
