What do you do when you have so much work on your plate and so much pressure that it paralyzes you? A lot of mornings I work at a slower pace because I’m so overwhelmed.

I like to block off time to do each task based on priority, such as 9-10am task 1, 10:30-11am task 2 etc. Of course things pop up or ppl are pinging which might cut into that allotted time but at least I’ve mapped out a plan of when to accomplish each thing so it’s not too overwhelming! I also like to highlight my to do list based on what I will plan to work on today, tomorrow, and the rest of the week. That way I just focus on the items that are highlighted one color for today. And at the end of the day I will reassess how much I got done and then plan for tomorrow accordingly!

I just start working on it, and honestly try to not worry about it. Either you will be able to get through it all- or, If it’s really too much, then you won’t be able to get to it all. And it will get moved to someone else. So the way I see it, what’s the point in worrying. It’s spreadsheets we’re talking about, not lives.

Are you traveling during the pandemic or have client interactions been virtual? Lastly, if you are a consultant here, are you on billable hours? My current consulting role is not - so this would be new.

What does an exit from Salesforce consulting look like? I’m in a technical role leading a small team so my understanding is a technical/solution architect or a development team lead at either Salesforce or an end user like Amazon/Amex.

I have bounced around a couple consulting companies so would prefer not to do it again. Total 4 YOE.

I don’t think I have enough YOE to go for a program architect role at SF otherwise I’d be interested.
