How do you prioritize tasks when everything feels urgent?

When everything feels urgent, I take a step back and assess the impact of each task. I focus on what will bring the most value or solve the biggest problem first. I also try to identify tasks that are time-sensitive and can’t wait.

I've realized that focusing on tasks that align with my long-term goals helps me avoid being stuck in the everything is urgent mindset.

I usually prioritize tasks that have the biggest impact on achieving my main goals. Helps avoid getting sidetracked by less important stuff that feels urgent in the moment but isn't really moving me forward, ya know?

I find the Eisenhower Matrix super helpful for this - categorizing tasks into urgent/important quadrants. Knock out the urgent and important stuff first, then important but not urgent, and so on. Having that framework to fall back on takes a lot of the stress out of prioritizing for me.

Using the Eisenhower Matrix has been really helpful for me.

When I feel overwhelmed, I write down all the tasks and pick 2-3 that are the most meaningful for the day.

I usually look at what will have the biggest impact on others. That helps me decide what's truly urgent.

Whenever everything feels equally urgent, I reach out to my team for clarity. Sometimes priorities aren't as obvious as they seem.

When I'm feeling stuck, I tackle the task that's causing me the most stress. It's a huge relief once it's done.

Sometimes I just pause, take a deep breath, and pick one thing to start with. Overthinking makes me slower, so I try to dive in.
