"My job is fast-paced, and it's not uncommon to have multiple projects with conflicting priority levels. Typically, I plan my week and create time blocks to ensure I have time to do certain tasks without interruption. 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 and see if other team members can support some of the work."

"We were short-staffed during the quarter, so my workload increased. I received several different projects and assignments, so I compiled a list of everything I needed to work on the deadlines for each project. By doing this, I was able to prioritize the projects and clearly show my manager my capacity. I used this opportunity to connect with my manager to ensure our priorities aligned and to get feedback on what could be considered a lower priority until we had additional support on the team."
