As a professional response: - Prioritize tasks by evaluating their deadlines and the potential consequences of delay. Address high-impact, time-sensitive issues first. - Group data anomalies by severity and scope, focusing on those that affect critical processes or key deliverables. - Use task management tools to visualize priorities and delegate where possible to ensure efficient handling. - Resolve straightforward tasks quickly to free bandwidth for complex issues. - Inform stakeholders of prioritization logic and timelines to manage expectations. - Maintain focus and adaptability to handle emerging priorities effectively.

When it comes to urgent tasks and data anomalies, i will first assess the business impact of the tasks and data anomalies based on that i will priorities what has to be tackled first. I will evaluate the deadlines, group similar tasks and tackle the quick wins, I will make the plans using 80/20 ( pareto's principle) rule.Finally, taking a moment to step back and refocus is essential. Overwhelm can cause decision fatigue, so sometimes taking a short break or doing a quick mental reset can help me to think more clearly about how to approach the situation. This way, I can ensure that i'm making the most strategic decisions & keeping the situation under control, even in moments of high pressure by staying calm and maintaining focus.
