How do you determine priorities when you have multiple tasks at hand?
Multitasking is learned and not inherently natural to humans. Think about how you determine the priority and need of some tasks over others when you feel torn between multiple projects. Share your systems approach to tracking your progress on one task when switching to another, ensuring no progress is lost when you return to it. Explore how you identify the greater need and your flexibility to shift your priorities. The needs of the many (the team) outweigh the needs of the one.
"I will determine which project requires my attention by the number of hours we are behind and then the project size. I am comfortable delegating tasks when needed, but I am also aware that these times will require additional hours from me. Never have I underdelivered on a deadline."
"If, for example, I have more than one customer who needs me, I will page for assistance so that nobody is left waiting. It's essential to have team members you can rely on to step in when you become too busy."
