The speed and volume of modern work is increasing, and many people can feel out of control. If this is you, you may feel powerless to do anything about it but making a bit of time to review, plan and prioritise your work can release you to do the work you want to be doing, and not just the work that comes in. If you look at what you have on, you can work out what you need to do next, what you can hand to someone else and what you can defer.
