I was working with 5 customers at once, and had to focus on those activities where I could make a difference, make the most impact, that I could not delegate, and where I could balance with other priorities - in order to do that, I measured the priority of the tasks by the cost of delay, in other words, the impact of not doing them at that time. Then, with more clarity about the priorities, I thought which ones I could delegate to other team members, and if that made sense, with the required support and guidance from my side. Working as a team and not trying to get everything done yourself is key in the long term with multiple, competing priorities. Then, organizing my time well in short, focused timeslots for the most important tasks, made a difference.

Yes, There is a new client with a requirement which we have already created a solution for a different client. So for showcasing it we cloned the app with few name changes. Our ceo had a call with the client by evening and i had to complete the testing the entire app before that, at the same time i had to complete a documentation in another project which has to be submitted to client at the same time. in this project there are 3 members and in that i am the only person to test the app. so i asked one of the team mate to work on the documentation and said that i will join as soon as the testing is completed and i started testing the app. I completed the testing and the documetation is also almost done i completed the remaining, reviewed the document and submitted it. The reason for my act is we cannot make any mistake while making a demo for a new client, since i am the only person to test the app, i am responsible to give a quality output. In the another project there are three members and we can coloborate and work together.
