You're working in a fast-paced environment. How can you manage your workload and still have a life?

We are working in a fast paced environment where communication barriers have decreased, thanks to technology. It is good to spend some time on planning your work robustly in this environment, and execution is then basically your plans in action! Prioritize tasks that need to be dealt with urgently, slot out your calendar in advance, and factor in an hour or so daily for adhoc work. Routine tasks can be handled on the go, like catching up on yammer chats, company news etc. that can be browsed through during coffee breaks or while traveling. Tasks that depend on others need to be tackled on a timely basis, to avoid delays and miscommunication. Have a hard stop when required, because work life balance is important.

This is a core activity and one of the most difficult to implement sometimes. So much depends on your organization's culture and leadership. If it's expected that you work 60 hours a week, it can be very difficult to draw boundaries. Do try. Be honest with your manager about your capacity and point out that if you have to take on something else, you will need to stop doing something you are currently working on. It's also good to ask if the extra work will significantly contribute to your objectives. Ultimately, if it's not possible to fulfill your role in say, 40 hours a week, then the company has a resource issue. That's an objective conversation you can have with your manager; it focuses the workload back on the company, instead of you.

I agree, however sometimes it depends on the upper management to support you on the set expectation, with the current work load, if you don’t have any support based on your capabilities it will turn into nothing.

Use Eisenhower's Matrix. President Eisenhower was famous for saying, “I have two kinds of problems, the urgent and the important. The urgent are not important, and the important are never urgent.” His matrix is a time management technique that 'forces' us to choose one of the 4 quadrants for any task. By placing a task in the quadrant you have given it a priority based on how urgent and how important it is. Once you have done this, your tasks have a priority order based on those 2 factors; urgency and importance. Most people operate in the 1st quadrant firefighting with everything being urgent and important. The challenge is to look ahead, and start working on what is important but not yet urgent. This stops you becoming overwhelmed.

Start with the non-negotiable commitments (meetings etc) and then decide what you are going to do with the rest of your day. Try to protect time for cognitively-demanding tasks, if possible at the time of day when you are at your sharpest. Make sure also to allocate time to admin jobs. And once you have made this plan for your day, execute it to the best of your ability and try not to be distracted by things that you have not allocate the current period to.
