When managing multiple deadlines, I prioritize staying organized and maintaining clear communication. First, I break down each task into smaller, manageable steps and create a timeline for each. I use tools like to-do lists or project management apps to keep track of progress and set specific milestones. I always try to tackle the most urgent or complex tasks first, while keeping buffer time for unexpected issues.

I also make sure to communicate early if I foresee any potential delays—whether it's with colleagues, clients, or supervisors. This ensures that expectations are aligned and allows me to adjust priorities if needed. Ultimately, staying organized and being proactive about time management and communication helps me handle multiple deadlines effectively.
