I am on 5 projects right now all due within the next week-3 weeks. I feel like I’m drowning and might quit if I reach a breaking point, what should I do? Only work on the projects worth a shit? Blow off first round check ins to work on stuff that’s due?

Ask your creative resource manager this very question.

Talk to you CD or ECD and ask them what you should prioritize. Frame it up as you not wanting to drop the ball and wanting to make sure you’re delivering the best possible work.

Or, talk to your PMs to see if there are any deadlines that could push a bit to give you some breathing room.
