You're struggling to keep up with your workload. How can you get back on track?

From my experience, when I’m overwhelmed or over loaded, it’s because my tasks are not being handled using my normal systematic process. If you do not have a defined process of handling tasks, you should first make one. This should be 3-5 steps or categories on classifying what stage in the process each task moves through your pipeline. There are some situations when a task is more urgent than another. However in most scenarios all tasks are important and the ones that have not been touched for the longest time should be handled. For example if a task hasn’t been handled for 4 days compared to one that was handled one day ago, the oldest one needs attention first.

The Eisenhauer Matrix is a very simple method of quickly prioritising workload content where dynamic triage becomes necessary, or perhaps with a sudden change in workload due to the sudden absence of a highly productive colleague.

Prioritize Tasks: Identify urgent and important tasks and focus on them first. Delegate: Delegate tasks that can be done by others to lighten your load. Time Management: Use techniques like the Pomodoro Technique or Eisenhower Matrix to manage time effectively. Break Tasks into Smaller Steps: Break down large tasks into smaller, more manageable steps. Eliminate Distractions: Minimize distractions like emails or social media to stay focused. Ask for Help: Reach out to colleagues or supervisors for support if needed. Self-Care: Take breaks, eat healthily, exercise, and get enough sleep to maintain energy and focus. Learn to Say No: Politely decline additional tasks if your workload is already overwhelming.

In my view you need to divide your most critical task, you execute them very safely and communication is the key.always give feed back and ask for assistance if there's a need.

Nada mais eficaz do que fazer as atividades com baixo esfor?o e alta intensidade, para essas tem que realizar de imediato, as demais de media ou alta complexidade, planejamento e programa??o para que os resultados t?o logo retornem. Foco em disciplina e vigilancia na procrastina??o.

Utilizando a Matriz GUT, com basicamente 4 etapas conseguiremos avaliar a tomar decis?es de grande ajuda em nossa produtividade e desempenho. 1. Fa?a a lista de projetos e problemas. 2. Defina prioridades atribuindo pontua??es(Ex.: baixa, média, alta). 3. Realize o cálculo GUT. 4. Avalia??o e plano de a??o. No momento de plano de avalia??o podemos identificar tarefas que dependem ou que podem ser realizadas por outras pessoas, estas podem ser delegadas.

In my experience if you have the right people working with you the best thing is to hand off more. It never hurts to have everyone understand what needs to be done.

Streamline your workload by assessing tasks for delegation or outsourcing, focusing on expertise, time, and resources. Efficient allocation of tasks enhances productivity, allowing you to concentrate on core activities that demand your expertise and attention.

Organizing oneself is not difficult if you have the system within you (to-do-list), just like a glass of water, once it's full, need to manage overflow and /or prevent, just to be in control. Delegating is a smart move perhaps, the application of ABCDE method is one determinant factor when and what are the tasks to be delegated. The A - Must do , B- is Should do, C- is Could do, D - is Delegate do, and E - is Eliminate do...

Es también una manera de potencializar a los equipos que se tienen a cargo, no se debe cruzar la línea entre delegación de tareas a delegar responsabilidades. De igual manera la empatía y la consciencia de las cargas que cada uno tiene en su rol.

Map out all tasks and probable completion time. Stop taking on new load if possible. Ask for help where necessary. Burn the midnight oil where applicable.

Enhance efficiency by leveraging tools and systems for task organization and streamlining. Utilize software or applications for tracking KPIs, calendars for reminders, and workflows for procedural guidance. Adopting these tools not only reduces errors but also saves time, contributing to overall work improvement and increased productivity. For instance, platforms like Trello or Asana for task management, Google Calendar for scheduling, and checklists in productivity apps like Notion or Todoist can significantly improve organization and productivity.

The tool needs to work for you. Some people like ToDo lists. Others like calendar entries. Some even like paper lists. Whatever the "tool" is it needs to facilitate the way you work and think. You might have to experiment. Don't just use a tool because everyone else is.

I can best recommend the use or apply the MoSCoW method matrix in organizing workloads. Start with the MUST do; follow the SHOULD do; then COULD do; and then WON'T do / NICE to do...

Aunque podamos tomar sopa directamente del plato, es mas comodo y eficiente con la cuchara. Aprovechar los recursos es una caracteristica indispensable de un lider.

A comunica??o é fundamental para TUDO em nossa vida. No dia a dia de trabalho n?o seria diferente, saber reportar e até mesmo solicitar ajuda quando necessário, pode ser uma excelente estratégia. Os benefícios s?o incontáveis e fazem toda a diferen?a. - Contribuem para uma melhor análise e resolu??o de um problema. - Demonstram os momentos que estamos OFF para foco em certa atividade. - Reduz ruídos e mal entendidos, etc.

Communicate and collaborate is very important. These are personal skills a person must have to be effective, efficient, economical, and productive in everything you do. Know when to communicate, and collaborate is a big challenge since most individuals are inclined to single-out things for vested interest. Thus, if you are at the brim of a situation wherein your capacity and capability is in question or your back is on the wall, the best thing is to organize yourself, communicate or collaborate with the people around. Note the saying; "No man is an island, each one depend one another."

Comunicarse y colaborar con colegas, gerentes y otras partes interesadas es esencial para resolver problemas, obtener ayuda cuando sea necesario y alinear objetivos. Mantener a todos informados sobre el progreso, pedir consejo y coordinar acciones ayuda a evitar malentendidos y garantiza mejores resultados.

Stop responding to everyone at once. An email request, even if marked urgent can wait an hour. Give yourself margin to complete or get a task to a point where you can leave it and attend to the demands of others.

Prioritize the tasks you are working and take one after one starting from highest priority. You cannot have multiple tasks of same highest priority, still if you have it means your team strength is not enough for the tasks you are assigned, in this case talk to your manager. Either he will increase the team strength or he will set the priority. If he is not able to do either, he is not the right person you should serve. Talk to his boss , a level up, even if he cannot help. Search another job with highest priority and get your problem solved. Disclaimer: "he" has been used generically for all genders.

You have solutions within your team never outsource it rather respect the advice from your subordinates who van give a valid suggesting for your fault rectification/streamline the production flow......Your job is to study the feasibility and act according to his suggestion .....Your production line will be in operational within mins even though if the fault is not rectified.....Respect the subordinates / production workers they are more knowledgeable than your maintenance team........

La premisa, soy uno en el trabajo y otro fuera es falsa, somos un solo ser que si bien tiene diversas facetas según el contexto en su unidad es indivisible, inevitablemente cualquier aspecto en sus dimensiones influirá en la otra.

Cuidarte a ti mismo es crucial para mantener la productividad, la calidad y la seguridad. Tomarte descansos regulares, comer bien, mantenerte hidratado y establecer límites te ayudará a lidiar con el estrés, mejorar tu estado de ánimo y rendir mejor en tus tareas. Recuerda priorizar tu bienestar mientras te ocupas de tus responsabilidades laborales.

That’s a tough one to answer not knowing the importance of the tasks at hand. Certainly one should always prioritize their work but given the situation one should pull in team support if needed. It could help others learn an important skill as well.

Know your process. If I run at 100% my ability on a process, I’d work my self too far ahead of schedule and create unscheduled downtime to have to explain or create storage issues. I run process at a rate that keeps me 6-12 hrs ahead of schedule if possible, so the next shift can have problems and not have me behind schedule when I walk come back. If you are running as fast as you can, do things like pre-stage your tools or materials as much as you can. Reduce your footsteps. If you will have to be in an area twice, try to get both trips done so you only make one trip. Minimize having to wait on someone else. Don’t rush. That will cause a mistake and put you further behind. Stay focused

Tomar descansos intermitentes que te ayuden a aclarar ideas y así poder responder eficientemente y apoyarse en herramientas estratégicas para determinar la prioridad de las actividades, si es un equipo de trabajo distribuir las actividades dependiendo las fortalezas de cada integrante para optimizar y minimizar errores.
