Do you have any strategies for prioritizing work/tasks especially if everything that comes across your table seems time sensitive or urgent?

The way I handle that is by asking how soon someone needs it, then I tell them that I need to get approval from my supervisor. My supervisor knows my boundaries, and I always ask him to tell me what to prioritize and what he wants me to do with my work hours. I don't do more or less, and that's what I do to survive and have time for my family too.

That's great and glad that your supervisor knows your boundaries allowing you prioritize what you need to which lets you have time or you and your family. Definitely need to do this more on my end I think

This sounds familiar, the people I work with tend to need everything yesterday. Part of the solution is just getting some determination of which demands are legitimate and which are just people being demanding for the fun of it. There are some things which are always prioritized, so it starts with that. At times I'll ask my manager how to proceed and we'll determine how to queue things up.

Yea I definitely know that feeling. I usually have an idea of which things I can actually push a little but gotta get better at reaching out to my manager faster as well when there are legitimately too many hot things that might need to end up getting delegated out rather than making myself drown in work

My anxiety makes me good at my job. My incessant checking, and double checking, and analyzing has earned me praise, trust, and early promotions. Sometimes I wonder, if I were to take medication to give myself some relief, and to stop the panic attacks, would I be less productive? And then I wonder, do I value my own health so little? But I’m so validated by my performance...sad isn’t it? Hope I’m not alone.

If you see an open job posting at a company you want to work for, what steps do you take to apply? I’ve been told that cold applying and making no contacts is usually not going to lead to anything, and that’s been true in my experience. But should I reach out to someone first? Should i apply and then email someone? In HR? Or someone who’d be directly supervising me? Or someone at my level? And what should i say? Thanks!
