How are you guys getting work done when you have a bunch of calls that you’re on all day?
For context I have been in the corporate world for almost 2 years now as a sales/category analyst. My first position was so boring I usually didn’t have much work to do day to day. However, after getting a promotion to a senior level role, I am getting a lot more responsibilities put on to me and I am on a lot more calls than before. While this was expected, I am still struggling to get work done in between meetings and calls. Sometimes I have as little as 30 minutes to get work done between calls and it’s hard to get any meaningful work done within that time. I have a hard time switching from one thing to another. If I am working on a project and I have to stop to get on a call for an hour, it is really hard to just pick that project up where I left off and keep working. It’s almost like I have to build inertia to get a task done and then if that is interrupted I have to start all over again building it up. This has led to a lot of unnecessary stress to get things in before deadlines. This has been a huge challenge for me to navigate and I would like to know how you guys handle this.
