I’m going to be transitioning roles in a few weeks but will be double-hatting in the meantime. I’m sure many of you have dealt with this before - any advice on managing tasks through this period? I don’t want to drop the ball but it’s impossible to prioritize when everything is seemingly a priority.

When I’m in a state like that I just delegate all my previous role tasks and perform none of them. I act as a touch point for the team but they need to do the tasks

I focus on figuring out my new role, usually by having things delegated to me

That sounds like a tough position to be in, it might help to set expectations on both sides
