It's my first ever office-based job. I've only been there two weeks but the workload has ramped up massively. I have lots of different tasks to do and I find it difficult switching between different tasks, I prefer to get stuck in on one and finish it perfectly before starting another, but that just isn't possible as I need to send drafts off to several people to get reviewed and I often have several projects and different stages all needing my attention.
I start a task and I feel like I waste so much time and I don't even know how. I'm usually such an efficient person but I think I over-think things and try and make it perfect from the get-go rather than just getting stuck in. My email and Teams notifications are constantly going off which I find really distracting. I have lots of unnecessary Teams meetings and it's like the whole 30 minutes before them I can't concentrate as I'm watching the clock making sure I don't miss joining them. I forget to eat and drink quite a lot on work days (I'm WFH) and I'm doing lots of extra hours, I log on at night and 'appear offline' and catch up on things.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to be quicker and more efficient?
