Maki was part of a new project. She was anxious to meet new team members and experience her first job. On the first day, her manager presented her with a meeting full of tasks and responsibilities. She felt overwhelmed as she must get all of these done and was not sure where to start. What should Maki do to ease her anxiety and manage her time effectively?
1. Take a break for 10 minutes, get back and calmly list down tasks on priority and start solving them.
2. Accept the tasks and try to delegate them to team members.
3. Seek help from a senior associate to complete her tasks.
4. Get prepared for such hectic pressure as a routine matter.
5. Talk to the manager and explain that she is very new to the team, and it is difficult for her to handle all these responsibilities.
