That's something I learnt in my first serious job (although it was a sommer job). It was a big industry line renovation and I was voluntarily working in the night shift (no bosses, less people, not so hot, more money...). We got every afternoon a list of points to do during the night. The first day I tried (and managed) to fullfill the list. The second day, too (at the cost of having less break time). The third day the "senior" taught me a lesson... "If you work through ALL points of the list, you are going to get a bigger list as soon as they realize it, it doesn't matter if you are stressing yourself or not, they will think it is not enough for you so they will add tasks. Look at the points and select one or two minor things that everyone during the day can do without problems and leave them undone. This will keep you safe from burning out before the end of the first month." Many years and a lot of projects later... damn, was he right. It usually doesn't matter at all what you do, as long as they get the result, they don't care a heck about you. Very few bosses thank you your effords properly and noone is irreplaceable. Keep your stress in a healthy level, do what you can the best you can. That's more than enough. And if they don't see it... screw them.
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
