      Answer Example

      "In these situations, I prioritize based on simplifying the tasks. Sometimes I make a list of everything that needs to be done and then set aside the tasks that can be done later and focus on the most important ones with the most immediate deadlines. When my team and I are all in the same situation, we sit down together and discuss the most time-sensitive tasks to see if we can assist each other."

      "I have a template that I like to use to identify my weekly and daily high-priority items. Every Sunday, I write down my focus for that week and identify who my stakeholders and potential lead for support are. This way, I'm never missing a beat, and there is a way to track my progress easily."

      Good for you! It sounds like you have full control of your schedule and go into each week and day with a clear idea of what needs to be done. This will translate well in an interview showing that you respect your employer's time by maximizing productivity.
