Even if you love your job, the stress of deadlines may get the best of you some days. And, while a little pressure can keep you motivated, too much may derail and distract you.
Stay on track — and ease deadline stress — with these work-smart tips:
1. Keep a prioritized to-do list. Tallying your tasks and deadlines can clear your mind — and help you determine what's most pressing. Mark those with the highest priority. Your list may also make you less likely to forget something important.
2. Break it down. If you have a project that seems overwhelming, outline the steps — and give each a separate deadline. You may find it helps to tackle your toughest task of the day first.
3. If you can do it quickly, do so. Need a breather from a time-consuming job? Take care of a quick task or two. Checking off even small deadlines on your list may help relieve some pressure.
