The pursuit of being entirely caught up on work can feel enticing, but it's often a fleeting achievement. This article suggests that attempting to reach this goal may be unrealistic. Instead of stressing over every task on the to-do list, shifting your mindset to accept that not all tasks need completion can lessen stress. Key strategies include fostering open communication with supervisors to prioritize essential tasks, as well as recognizing that the belief of needing to finish everything contributes more to stress than the actual workload does.
Effective communication with your boss can clarify priorities, helping reduce the mental load that comes with trying to finish every single task on your list.
Accepting that some tasks may not always be "musts" can provide relief from the pressure of needing to finish everything immediately.
