For 10 years multiple projects were a regular part of my job. It really comes down to prioritizing work based on deadlines and resources. Because of my previous experience, I find it easy for me to manage my work schedule. COVID working its way through the country has left our main office short-staffed, so in addition to visiting customers, I've been able to take on my own scheduling and admin work.

It sounds like you've had substantial experience navigating multiple priorities, but this response should more clearly outline exactly how you've gone about prioritizing. Do you have an app, a checklist, a color-coding list, etc? How do you manage short and long-term projects? What happens when something unexpected pops up? Providing a few more details here will improve your response.
