Common conclusions
Being organized is the first step to avoid that overwhelming feeling. Start with a to-do list for the day/week, depending on the nature of your job, personal preferences, and more. Make a list of the things you have to accomplish on a given day/week and put the number of hours against it. Make sure you're liberal with the time estimation. As you finish each job, put a tick against it or strike it off. This is a great way to ensure that your work is spread across the entire day/week instead of feeling a squeeze.
Well, this is more a personal choice but the majority of people find that when they complete the most difficult tasks when they are most productive, the lighter ones can be moved to the end of the day or in the afternoons when there's a little less productivity. This way, you're not forced to work on the hardest task when you're exhausted.
It is time you tap into the power of electronics and apps to enhance your productivity and to better manage your workload. There are many apps that alert you when it is time to start or complete a task. Likewise, these apps can help prioritize your tasks, so you feel less overwhelmed about the workload.
Flexibility and adaptability can go a long way in reducing your workload because many times, it is the unplanned or emergency tasks that can ruin your schedule and increase your work. When you allow some additional time for such tasks or even just a good degree of flexibility should make it easy to accommodate these unexpected changes.
This is one area you should improve on to reduce your workload. When you communicate clearly on what you can, it helps you and others to plan well. Likewise, clear instructions can make it easier to complete a task on time. Due to these reasons, hone your communication skills if you think you have way too much work.
Many people tend to overlook the role of good health in productivity. If you're healthy and had a good night's sleep, you tend to be more productive and focused on what you do. This way, you'll be able to stay on top of your workload. Overall, it helps to eat a balanced diet, do regular exercise, and sleep well, so you can complete all your tasks on time.
If you're in good health, you're all set to handle all the tasks that come to you. Stay organized and positive and you'll be able to manage your workload easily.
