I used to often get stressed out about whether the way I was prioritizing my work was reasonable.
Illustration of a stick figure with short curly hair, looking uneasy.
person: I’m spending a lot of time on X and no time on Y. I hope that’s okay!!!!
Everything got easier once I could just:
- come up for a plan for what to prioritize
- tell my manager the plan and ask if it sounds good
- trust them when they say yes
Illustration of two stick figures talking. The employee has short curly hair, and the manager has no hair.
employee: this quarter I’m planning to get BIG PROJECT done and spend time with my intern. I’m not planning to work on OTHER PROJECT at all.
manager: sounds good! Just do X too?
Setting expectations is awesome because:
- I feel confident that my plans are reasonable
- my manager is aware of what I’m planning and can coordinate
Everybody wins!!!
