How do you manage your workload in your role?

I manage my workload by making lists and blocking time to focus on certain items. Every evening before I log off I create a prioritized list of what needs to be done the next day. This list is usually a combination of items left over from the day, new items that popped up that day and longer term projects that also need to be worked on. Then I block time on my calendar for the following day for certain items putting the high priority items first. This way I can easily keep track of what I need to work on and ensure that I have the time needed to focus on them. I also try to delegate items to my team when possible and I know that I can always reach out to my director for help if my workload becomes to heavy (which it very rarely does).
