How to Make Peace with Your Workload
[A] Swamped (忙碌的),under the gun, just struggling to stay above water...; whatever office cliche you employ to depict it.
we"ve all been in that situation where we feel like we might be swallowed up by our workload.
Nonetheless many a way may be used to manage your to-do list to prevent feeling overwhelmed.
How to make peace with your workload once and for all goes as follows.
[B] Get organized. says Jeff Davidson who works as a work/life expert and writer of more than 50 books on workplace issues.

Messy work areas are nonproductive in some measure. Provided that you can"t locate a document or report easily because it’s lost in a pile of mess, then you have a problematic situation,” he says.
“Thereby you are supposed to take the time to tidy up your work areas and keep your important files, manuals and reports in an accessible location, which will maximize your efficiencies.”
[C] Make a to-do list, then cover it up.
It may sound weird, but it works, says Jessica Carlson, an account executive at Bluefish Design Studio which is an advertising consulting firm. Carlson urges her team to utilize to-do lists to stay on track and highlight items that are a priority.
“Cover up the list, with the exception of one high-priority task at one time,” she suggests. “
This will allow you to focus better on the task at hand; otherwise, it will be easy to get overwhelmed if you’re reading through a to-do list that spans an entire page.
Concentrating on a single item will make your tasks appear like they are more doable,” Carlson says.
