What are some strategies you use for managing and prioritizing work for yourself when there is too much work and too few staff members to complete the tasks at hand?

"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."
