How to Cope When You Are Extremely Busy

Do you feel like screaming, shouting and complaining when you have a lot on your plate? Fear not. Because you can control all of it by following the strategies I give in this article. And you will soar. Read on to find out.

Here are a few pointers:

1)Keep your cool no matter what

You cannot let yourself out of control. Instead, be cool and even out your temper. Ask yourself, "What is the best way I can handle this?"

2)Make it a fun game

You already have tasks in hand and more tasks are rolling in. You cannot get exasperated. The best thing you can do is to list all the tasks in a sheet of paper and prioritize. The less important tasks can take a back seat. Handle as many important tasks as you can and make it a fun game.

3)Delegate your important tasks

If the list of important tasks on your list is too huge, you can consider asking for help and delegating. Make friendship with a few other co-workers at work who will readily accept the tasks you delegate and inform your boss as well what you are doing yourself and what you have delegated due to time pressure. Your boss will probably appreciate the way you are handling your job and make a note of it. The best thing that can happen out of this scenario is that you will get a raise or promotion for the team leader spirit and responsibility.

4)Take frequent small breaks

Don't get bogged down and overwhelmed with your tasks. Take breaks frequently. Chat with other colleagues or read the newspaper or just let the fresh air in and gaze out of your office window and appreciate what you view. After short breaks, which are good for your body postures and health as well, you will find you can focus on work more meticulously and energetically. You are able to carry out tasks in order of priority as you planned.

5)Smile

Smile at people and co-workers. Even smile over the phone with all of whom you have to negotiate. Immediately they will feel the warmth in you and your authenticity and would like to partner with your company. Smiling has another advantage. It lifts off the pressure from you and people around are less judgmental and kinder and more cooperative.

6)Reward yourself

At the end of the day which was overall good or bad, treat yourself snacks and a cup of Starbucks coffee. Understand that you have tried your best for the day, celebrate quietly and continue with the left out tasks the next day.

7)Journal your day's events

When you go home, relax, have dinner and begin to journal your day's events. Identify where you have excelled, what needs to be given more attention and where there is scope for more improvement. Once you have done this, carry out a plan of action so that all sides are dealt with adeptly.

8)Share with family and retire to sleep

Share with your family about your day's real-life funny anecdotes and laugh together. Give solutions to any problems they might be facing. Go to bed feeling it was a day you spent well. Sleep in anticipation of the next day when you will accomplish even better, much to the happiness and pride of your family.

Summing up, the above eight pointers will keep you on track and in control when life gets too busy and bombards you with never-ending tasks one after another. Try two or more strategies mentioned here that suit you and you will skyrocket to higher levels. It's guaranteed! Sounds good?
