What are the best time management techniques for too much work load?

Firstly, tell someone higher up in the management chain that you are overloaded (i.e. your teacher or boss). They may be able to help prioritize the work or take the pressure off by helping out.

Second, right a list of all the work to be done and the deadline for the work. This will help you focus on what needs to be done and get you thinking about part three.

Third, think about how long you realistically think it will take you to complete each item of work well (not just get it finished badly or incomplete).

Fourth, if it looks like you can’t finish any items of work by the deadlines then tell your manager or the person requesting the work (i.e. teacher, client) urgently. Explain that due to workload you can’t complete the work on time and give them a date you can. If they don’t allow an extension of time. Try getting an extension on a different item of work from a client/teacher. That’s the key juggling the work around so it can be completed in the minimum time to maximum quality.

Fifth, get going with the work. Try not to rush and not to feel the pressure of the deadlines. If you find you are getting stressed or rushing this could be counter productive and you will make mistakes. Take a break when feeling stressed. Work sensible times (not all night unless you are used to working this way and even then I don’t think it is a good idea). Get regular sleep (7-8 hours a day is good for me but some people need only 4 hours!!) and eat well. Sleep and healthy eating are important in coping with stress. Most people will work long hours, not have time to eat and eat unhealthy takeaways or not at all!

Sixth, have confidence in your ability to handle the workload. You will be surprised how well you can cope with stress for short periods of time. And you will learn a lot about yourself and how you handle stress once the work is finished.

But most importantly don’t let it get on top of you. You must talk to your manager or teacher if the work load is too much and you aren’t coping. If you are the manager or teacher with no one to go too then I am assuming you have been through this all before and so you know the techniques best suited to you to get through it.

No piece or work is worth getting too stressed and ill over, so look after yourself and good luck.
