What can I do if I feel overwhelmed by my workload?
If you feel overwhelmed, start by organizing your tasks, prioritizing, and asking for support when needed.
Feeling overwhelmed at work is a common experience, but taking proactive steps can help regain control. Start by organizing your tasks, breaking down larger projects into smaller, actionable steps that feel more manageable. Prioritize your to-do list by identifying the most urgent and important tasks, and tackle those first to prevent bottlenecks. Communicating openly with your manager or colleagues about your workload can lead to support, whether that’s an adjustment in deadlines or collaborative efforts. Delegating tasks, if possible, and scheduling focused blocks of time for deep work can also increase productivity and reduce feelings of overwhelm. Incorporating regular breaks and practicing self-care outside of work helps maintain resilience, allowing you to manage high workloads more effectively.
