Best methods for prioritising workload

1 reply

I'm looking for practical advice / solutions....

My team and I have a high number of tasks, many or which may be considered urgent or time-sensitive. At the moment it feels like there is just too much to do in the allotted time.

Increasing the hours of work is not an option.

Just looking for ideas / suggestions...

  • how do you prioritise your workload?
  • any excellent time-management tips?

I know the whole team is dedicated, competent, and working hard, so it's not a case of someone not pulling their weight.

Thanks in advance.

The team needs a shared status document.
When they come in tasks are recorded and prioritised, people work from the top down and assign themselves to tasks.
Non urgent tasks are still given DLs and escalate as time passes you can use formula /formatting to do this.
Added bonus is you can see who is actually doing what (some people are v good at "busy work")
