How do you effectively manage multiple priorities at the same time?

"You have to have a clear view of the big picture. Some people confuse the big picture as only what lies on the horizon, as the ultimate macro-goals you are trying to accomplish, built up from all those smaller micro-goals. But the big picture also includes what lies directly before you, behind you, and in your periphery. It requires high-level attention to detail and includes addressing those small sparks which hold the potential of turning into fires. It includes making sure you are tending to everything small and less pressing while being able to project the most expeditious way of reaching your destination. Do you steer your ship blindly into the storm, not having noticed it brew until the last second, or do you notice it far off, make a slight adjustment to your coordinates, avoid the storm, and experience hardly any delays? It is with this approach that I effectively manage multiple priorities at the same time."

Be mindful of the nonverbal cues that could be interpreted as nervous or stressful behavior. Some that the algorithm could pick up on are fidgeting (small movements of your hands or feet), swaying, shifting your weight, rocking or tilting back in your chair, leaning to one side or the other, straightening and freezing your posture, cradling your neck with one or both hands, crossing your arms, cracking your knuckles or biting your nails. Remain objective and confident, keeping your face and posture relaxed and your body language open and at ease.
