Roger's head 0 Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Anyone else go through periods when you feel overworked and there's just no end of things to do. I'm in one of those right now. Too many things to do, I'm doing none of them I feel at 100% and forgetting some and letting a few people down in the process. What do you do to cope with a situation like this?

Yuki's Passion 1 Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 >What do you do to cope with a situation like this? workout. all my stress seems to vanish with the sweat pouring off me If youre giving 100% then what more can you ask for? If not, then you know what to do - work harder. Link to post Share on other sites

soubriquet 0 Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Pick one task, one that you can complete, and do it. Then pick the next and finish that. Repeat... Link to post Share on other sites
Roger's head 0 Posted October 30, 2006 Author Share Posted October 30, 2006 Thanks yes one at a time. Problem is multiple people waiting for things so I feel I need to update them all. Just feel like I'm drowning in deadlines and not seeing any light at the end of the tunnel. Link to post Share on other sites

jgraves 0 Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 I usually feel that way, not from having too much work, but from having too little focus or, ironically, having too much time. Link to post Share on other sites
indosnm 0 Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 I'm with you Tohoku Bum. That's why I had to focus on Gym and studies to keep me busy, otherwise I'd have wasted the time on internet forums! Link to post Share on other sites

dale#1 1 Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Just take a few days off. Sod everyone. It has to be done. Otherwise you might make yourself ill. Link to post Share on other sites
bobby12 0 Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Make a list of the jobs to be done. Do them and tick them off in order of 'easiest/quickest first'. This is how some computer servers work - do the quick and easy jobs first and keep the majority of people happy. Those with the big jobs have to wait until the server has more resources available.

spook 0 Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 it doesn't always apply, but step back and realise that the world will keep turning whether you hit all deadlines or not. obviously in a work environment thigs have to be done by certain deadlines, but in the whole grand scheme of your life and the rest of the world.... it doesn't really matter. i'm not saying be a total slacker, but things need to be kept in perspective. having said that, i actually quite like being under the pump at work.

Luckily my sensei has taught me other channels in which to vent my anger. Yes, I wax my car. And I ask him to call me Danielsan too. Link to post Share on other sites

Roger's head 0 Posted November 14, 2006 Author Share Posted November 14, 2006 Well the worst of it is over. Phew. I'm exhausted and still playing some catchup but feel more in control. I did a lot of jogging in the evenings it helped clear my head a lot. Link to post Share on other sites

Roger's head 0 Posted December 28, 2006 Author Share Posted December 28, 2006 I have started working for a tourist company - not full time employee but doing things for them. Recently it has been a lot of things - way too much if you ask me. Negotiations are going to start in January for a bit of a reappraisal! Glad to say that come January things should also be less hectic. Link to post Share on other sites
