I work with 50+ clients throughout the year and some days I feel like I am pinged by all of them for one thing or another.

I try and deliver in a timely fashion and not let projects stall on my-side due to a workload issue.<\/p>\n<p>There is a lot of talk about work life balance and how to achieve this to not go insane. I have this pretty well worked out. Three hours a week we are given &#8220;wellness&#8221; time. This time is really beneficial to my performance as I can escape the computer and lift some weights, ride my bike, go for a run or whatever I have on the schedule for that day. However, there isn&#8217;t as much talk about work work balance&#8230; Maybe I am just not &#8220;searching&#8221; for the right keywords?<\/p>\n<p>I use the office suite, Outlook Mail, OneNote etc&#8230; It works pretty well, so maybe a reorganization of how I keep my data in that &#8220;system&#8221; is all that is needed. The large influx of chat messages and email makes it hard to track it all. Pointing clients at a tracking system has been in my thoughts&#8230; but then I need to remind them where, how, upkeep the system, etc&#8230; Thinking out loud here&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Any advice or thoughts? Please enlighten me to be more organized and therefor responsive and productive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have a pretty large and diverse workload.
