How do you currently stay on top of things at work?

Question

Given the various tools we have to manage, such as Slack, emails, and meetings, do you struggle to stay organized? What method do you now use to keep track of your daily tasks? Is it a frustrating process for you?

I use a calendar to manage meetings and a task list to manage daily and urgent tasks. Every morning, I spend about 15 minutes checking my email and reviewing the calendar and task list to confirm the issues that should be dealt with that day. If other work is added temporarily during this day, I immediately match the importance of this task and check the DDL, and then add it to my workflow. It's not a frustrating for me.😎

It seems you have multiple priority categories in your to-do list to help organize and rearrange incoming tasks. I follow a similar approach. I typically place all tasks in a "waiting to assign" pool and later move them into their respective categories.

I use a calendar to manage tasks that absolutely need to be done.
