1 Assess Urgency

When every project feels urgent, determining which one to prioritize can be challenging. Start by assessing the urgency of each task. Consider the deadlines and the consequences of not completing them on time. Sometimes, a project that seems urgent may not have as immediate a deadline as another. By evaluating the time-sensitivity of each task, you can create a hierarchy of urgency. This process helps you to focus on what needs your immediate attention and what can wait, reducing the anxiety that comes with trying to do everything at once.

O que me ajuda bastante a avaliar tanto a urgência quanto a importancia das tarefas é usar a Matriz de Eisenhower, classificando-as por urgência e importancia, e considerando prazos e impacto no projeto para focar o que é mais prioritário, delegar o que é apropriado e excluir o que é irrelevante.

Acredito que uma forma importante de compreender qual projeto ou tarefa executar primeiro é utilizar algumas ferramentas que ajudam a priorizar as atividades, como uma Matriz Impacto x Esfor?o ou uma Matriz GUT

Situation: Client's leadership shifted priority to scientific platform, in parallel with other projects ...that were based on the scientific platform. Task: Had two months to get a couple slide decks, scientific platform, and core visual aid updated and approved Action: Increased frequency of client meetings, met internally with team to delegate deck sections, developed plan to stagger sections for submission to Editorial and to Veeva Vault (e.g., one pillar of scientific platform at a time) Response: Somehow, we were able to get them all done, despite initially seeing no way to meet the deadline. The most important part of this STAR was meeting with the team and aligning on a strategy, and then reassessing weekly to maintain progress.

2 Evaluate Importance

Not all tasks are created equal, and their importance can vary greatly. After assessing urgency, evaluate the significance of each project. Which tasks will have the most substantial impact on your goals or the goals of your organization? Sometimes, less urgent tasks may be more critical in the long run. By prioritizing based on importance, you ensure that your efforts align with your most significant objectives, providing a sense of accomplishment and direction amidst the pressure.

Je me suis aper?ue que l'importance des taches à réaliser est variable d'une personne à l'autre sur le même projet. Nous ne considérons donc pas les priorités au même niveau et de la même manière. Il est donc essentiel de pouvoir communiquer aux collaborateurs ce qui nous apparait important et dans quel ordre nous classons les priorités. Le plus efficace est de se mettre en accord dans l'équipe pour que l'ordre des taches que j'effectue serve au mieux l'objectif final et le "collectif". Cela peut également nous aider à organiser notre travail car notre regard sur nos missions est une chose, et la manière dont notre travail impacte le collectif et participe aux objectifs en est une autre.

3 Consider Resources

Before diving into tasks, take stock of the resources available to you. Do you have all the information needed to complete the project? Are there team members who can assist you? Understanding your resource allocation can influence which tasks you should tackle first. If a high-priority task requires input from a colleague who is currently unavailable, it may be more efficient to start with another task that you have all the resources for. This approach ensures that your time is used effectively and that progress is continuous.

4 Break Down Tasks

Looking at a big project in its entirety can be daunting. Break down larger tasks into smaller, more manageable ones. This method not only simplifies complex projects but also provides you with clear milestones to achieve. As you complete each smaller task, you'll gain a sense of progress and motivation, which can be incredibly beneficial when under stress. This step-by-step approach can also help in better estimating how much time each part of the project will take, aiding in further prioritization.

Taking things step by step is crucial. By focusing only on your next move, you ensure steady progress and build a solid foundation for success. Think of it like climbing a ladder—each rung represents a necessary step toward your goal. Attempting to jump to the top in one go is not only impractical but also risky and impossible. True success is achieved through careful, deliberate effort, one step at a time. No one has ever climbed a ladder by trying to leap all the way to the top at once; it is through persistent, incremental progress that we accomplish larger tasks.

5 Time Block

Time management is crucial when handling multiple projects. Implement time blocking by allocating specific blocks of time to work on each task. This technique helps in maintaining focus and prevents the common pitfall of multitasking, which can reduce efficiency and increase stress. By dedicating undivided attention to one task at a time within set periods, you'll be able to work more effectively and reduce the feeling of being pulled in too many directions.

6 Adjust Flexibly

The only constant in managing multiple projects is change. Be prepared to adjust your priorities as new information comes in or as situations evolve. Flexibility is essential for effective stress management and project completion. Regularly reassessing your task list and being willing to shift your focus when necessary will help you stay on top of your workload without becoming overwhelmed. Remember that it's okay to change your plan; what matters is that you're making informed decisions based on current circumstances.

Besonders wenn man mehrere Projekte parallel bearbeiten, ist es umso wichtiger ausreichend Paidem zur Regeneration und Reflexion der Arbeitsschritte einzubauen. Auch das Pareto Prinzip kann sehr gut helfen, den Fokus auf die wichtigsten 20% einer Aufgabe zu legen.
