If you're a marketer who feels like your to-do list at work is just out of control, then this episode is for you.

It's not sustainable (or enjoyable) to stay in a state of overwhelm because you have too many tasks assigned to you, or unrealistic timelines to deliver all the work that you've been assigned.

In this episode, I share a really practical exercise you can complete, to determine what and how to prioritize, and where you need support, so you can initiate a conversation with your manager to discuss how to make your workload more manageable.

It's worth taking control of this situation so you can really demonstrate your best skills and capabilities as a marketer, and demonstrate leadership skills by proactively solving your workload challenge.
