I’ve been saying yes a lot to jobs recently but found I’m nearly missing key delivery deadlines. I find I’m struggling to balance multiple projects at one time so what’s the best you’ve found to organise your tasks?

It sounds like you're juggling a lot! I’d recommend breaking your tasks into smaller chunks and using a prioritizing by importance. I personally use Notion to help visualize everything and keep track. Don’t forget to build in buffer time for those unexpected tasks!

Thanks for the tip! Will look into Notion.

For organizing things I like to use spreadsheets, as I can customize them however I want. Google Sheets works fine for me, I can access it easily enough from any device. Beyond that I just jot down notes constantly so I don't drop the ball on anything. And the hardest thing to do, but perhaps the most important, is to get an early jump on things so I'm not a crazed maniac as the deadlines get close. My biggest flaw is to think about things rather than just doing them.

Totally relate—getting a head start always sounds simple but can be the hardest part! I’m with you on the spreadsheets too—I’ve started building out task trackers with colour coding to help me see what’s urgent at a glance. And yes to constant note-taking! It’s the only way I’ve kept things from falling through the cracks lately.
