I’m trying to break the habit of volunteering for every extra thing that comes up. I keep burying myself in extra tasks and then wondering why I’m so stressed. I hope working on these extra projects will help me keep my job, though. Is there a better way?

I’ve found that when it comes to redundancy, doing extra work is rarely taken into account. Being a team player is good. But you do need to get a balance.

Yeah, if your main tasks or mental health is suffering it’s not worth it. The most important thing for raises is doing your responsibilities to your best ability.

Do you feel at risk of losing your job? Just do good quality work on your main job function. Its good to say yes to various tasks to give you a wider range of experience but even if you say no to some opportunities, they will still find value in you as long as you do good work in the tasks that you are already doing. Also not sure if there are any credentials relevant to your job. Getting some letters after your name that your peers don't have give you a leg up too.

Be sure to start saying no to the existing work before going after other credentials..

Good idea
