Here's how you can effectively manage conflicting deadlines and prioritize your tasks.

I agree with this idea. However sometimes urgent issues may be many, equal urgency may happens. The idea is very helpful in prioritizing most urgent issues and improving focusing what is important and useful.

The 4-quadrant Eisenhower matrix is a great and simple tool to prioritise tasks based on their urgence and importance. Classifying the tasks into one of the four boxes can help you decide what to do first and what can be done later or delegated.

Le principe de base étant de réaliser une étude d'impact du problème ! - se focaliser sur la tâche qui induit le plus d'effets secondaire sur le projet (financier où humain). - consacrer les meilleurs éléments à sa résolution et mettre les second choix aux tâches annexe en veillant à leur maîtrise des compétence requise pour réduire le risque!

In my experience, I have been put in this position more times than I care to remember. The only method that works in such scenarios, especially where you have more than one executive/project/deadline, it is imperative to methodically triage your tasks. Like they do in a hospital, most urgent, most important, time required, then work your way down. Where it is entirely impossible to meet multiple deadlines despite your best professional efforts, communicate that challenge. Immediately. And follow it up with a solution that works for you, guaranteeing that the best outcome will be delivered. Why? Most of the time, your boss won't have time to discuss options for your deliverables. You have to be creative and proactive at the same time.

For instance, a long-term project with a community partner and advisory board that requires extensive feedback and iteration might be more important than one that's being done only by your lab or research group. Make suer to prioritize what will make the most impact, require more iteration and conversation, or what will be the most valuable to your career.

Add a bit more time than estimated for completing the task. This will bring comfort, provide time to review, change or simply confirm you have done it best you could.

Start early! If you have two tasks that are due the same date, start early on planning for each one and working on them. Give yourself enough time to allocate to each task. Being early is way better than being late ⏰

Setting boundaries is crucial for effective deadline management: - Learn to say no or negotiate deadlines when workload exceeds capacity. - Avoid burnout and maintain performance by managing commitments realistically. - Communicate clearly with team members and supervisors about feasible timelines.

1. List All Tasks: Write down everything you need to do, including deadlines. 2. Assess Importance and Urgency: Identify which tasks are most critical and time-sensitive. 3. Rank Tasks: Prioritize tasks based on their importance and deadlines. 4. Create a Schedule: Allocate specific times to work on each task, focusing first on high-priority ones. 5. Break Down Tasks: Divide larger tasks into smaller, manageable parts to avoid feeling overwhelmed. 6. Stay Flexible: Be prepared to adjust your plan as needed when new tasks or changes arise. 7. Communicate: If deadlines are unmanageable, discuss possible extensions or support with those involved.

Dentre muitos fatores a se considerar quando nos deparamos com múltiplas tarefas e prazos conflitantes é essencial avaliar qual o grau de complexidade existente em cada demanda. Priorizar as tarefas menos complexas pode ser uma boa maneira de otimizar tempo para posteriormente investir no trabalho mais árduo. Desta forma, partindo do mais fácil para o menos fácil, pode possibilitar uma melhor organização dos recursos disponíveis e oportunizar um gerenciamento de prazo mais adequado ao cenário posto.
