Assign all my tasks to my virtual team on Thursday night so that I don't have to worry about it. I expect them to work through the weekend though so I have everything ready to go by Monday morning east coast time.

Always aiming to finish my #1 priority. Nothing else.
You won't ever finish all your workload, so focusing on my #1 prio gives me clarity in knowing that I focus my energy where needed, gave it my all, and deserve my rest. 🙏
Here my tips to Balancing workload:
- Focus on high-priority items first
- Use specific time blocks for different task
- Avoid Multitasking
- Recharge for the weekend - it means no work on the weekend at all
I hope it will help you too

Ivy Lee Method 🙌 I plan 6 tasks for my work day, prioritise them by urgency and stick strictly to the schedule.
Make a to-do list and prioritize your tasks. Identify the most important tasks that must be completed before the weekend and focus on those first.But be realistic about what you can accomplish on Friday. Avoid taking on too much work that will leave you feeling overwhelmed and stressed.
Consistent progress throughout the week, and in software try to avoid pushing potential breaking updates!

Proper planning.

Pomodoro Technique
Don't leave any work to the weekend! This fallacy is way too common and I do it sometimes too; I think I got so much time ahead of me until Monday and I can figure out a couple tiny work responsibilities over the weekend.
Just wrap up on Friday as you are supposed to, have a fresh start on Monday morning and clear your head off of any responsibilities hanging over your head.

What happens at work, stays at work).
Might find it cliche but everyday managing your tasks and doing it on priority basis can help . Rest it’s individual’s capability and ability to manage!
To me, work isn't predicated on days of the week, or certain times. Clearly when you're at the office, you're in "work mode" but the "grind" to create more opportunities extends beyond the office. So the way I try to balance work/life, I make sure that when I'm with the people I love, I put my phone down and focus on them.
I find the biggest challenges to be around efficiency with your time whenever you sit down to do work. Meetings for example, most of them can be cut back 75% or more. For example, a meeting that could last 7 minutes, extends past an hour.
