How do you manage your workload in your role?

The workload looks always beyond your capability, and it could be very stressful to manage deadlines and new tasks. To face it, I work on my agenda. In the first step, every day I am setting the priority for tasks and meetings, choosing mandatory ones and delegating to my team members for other activities. It means having strong communication with the team throughout the day and supporting them in case of doubt on critical issues. But such an approach increases the trust and team building feeling in the team itself. The second piece of advice is to start and finish a task before moving to the next one, otherwise, the risk is the overlap of activities and losing control of the deadlines. The third point is to keep the balance between quality and quantity on your deliverables, where sometimes the best way to do something could be not the right one… On top of such daily organization, you must keep in mind that you have limits (as a human being!), and breaks must be taken during the day (coffee with colleagues, call at home, or have a look at newspapers).
