Tell me about a time when you had too many things to do and
you were required to prioritize your tasks.

Answer Posted / asfarkhan patel

We all have times when our workloads become heavier than they normally are and this happens to me every Saturday as my Project Manager is on business leave on each Saturday.
During his absence I am the replacement for him so I have to do my tasks including his.
I have found that the best thing to do is to take a look at what I have to do and prioritize tasks.
What I have found is that not everything has to be done immediately.
Some things are more mission-critical than others, and in times of stress you have to be able to prioritize.”

In those situations, I take a look at what the workload is and prioritize critical tasks such as:

• I prioritized the day such that urgent and important tasks always receive the highest priority.
• When I handle multiple tasks, I always make sure to include the Task’s priority.
• Important but not urgent tasks come next in priority.
• Urgent but not important tasks hopefully I don't have many can be delegated or postponed.
• Not urgent and not important tasks I do not even initiate, but if they have, then they receive the lowest priority
