"My job is fast-paced, and it's not uncommon to have multiple projects with conflicting priority levels. Because of this environment, I have to stay organized and focused in order to succeed each day. Typically, I plan my week out and create time blocks to ensure I have time to do certain tasks without interruption. I keep my work area neat and tidy so that I can easily find documents and forms. As soon as I feel overwhelmed or fall behind, I meet with my manager to communicate my concerns. We discuss the current projects, and I get their feedback on priority and see if other team members can support some of the work."

"At the end of each workday, I clean up my desk, arrange my files neatly, and ensure everything is in order for the next day. I also make lists of things that need to be done the following day and the rest of the week and I make note of what order of priority they are. I have a color-coding system in Excel and in my email calendar that I utilize when making my lists. I have weekly touchpoints with my manager for accountability and recalibration of the current priorities. I also collaborate with peers to share best practices and ensure we're all being as effective as we can be with templates and documents, etc."

I work closely with my peers to share responsibilities and ensure key tasks are delegated out, should there be an important deadline to consider.

Good communication with your co-workers is a very effective way to stay organized. Try also discussing any tech that you may lean on to help you stay on task during the day.
