Do you ever feel overwhelmed by the number of tasks you have to manage alone? How do you prioritize?

Question

Being in a position right now where I started multiple things and all of them kind of took off I find myself being extremly overwhelmed by the amount of tasks I have to complete every day. Even more that that I find it especially hard to juggle between them and my projects.

I don’t have money to hire anyone right now, I’m using Todoist, Notion and a piece of white paper and a pen to make sure I don’t miss a thing.

The question is how you do it? Is there an app that helps with this? Can I hire a cheap virtual asisstant or something?

Thanks for the asnwers :)

I feel you! The Eisenhower Matrix has been a game-changer for me. Categorizing tasks into urgent/important quadrants helps me focus on the critical stuff first. Definitely worth checking out if you haven't tried it yet!

Yes, sometimes, the way I make a priority list, from there I will know which one I have to do first.

Yes, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed when there’s a lot on your plate. When that happens, I step back and focus on what truly matters. I prioritize by asking myself, “What will have the biggest impact?” and “What’s most urgent?” Once I break things down, I tackle the most important tasks first, even if they feel challenging. I also remind myself that it’s okay to ask for help or take a break when needed. Managing tasks is about balance and not burning out while trying to get everything done.
