1. Prioritize Tasks and Avoid Multitasking
To ensure nothing gets lost in the chaos, create a checklist of all important tasks and arrange them in order of priority. To maintain simplicity and efficiency, avoid multitasking as it often leads to reduced focus and lower quality output.
2. Validate Others’ Feelings
Even if you are good at managing your own emotions, it’s important to acknowledge and address the feelings of others during tough situations, whether they’re colleagues, family members, or other stakeholders. Make them feel heard, brainstorm solutions together, and stay in regular contact to foster trust and collaboration.
3. Delegate Objectively
In chaotic situations, it’s wise to seek help wherever feasible. Focus on the most critical tasks yourself and delegate the rest. Be clear and objective when assigning responsibilities. Define what needs to be done and what the expected outcome should look like. Encourage others to proactively share updates so you can monitor progress and step in if needed.
