I've been so busy lately at work that I've been multitasking a lot. In the past, I realized this wasn't healthy for me. But lately so much needs to be done, and there's no one to help, that the multitasking is back.

The results of multitasking for me are extreme anxiety, frequent mistakes., periods of hyped up productivity followed by a day of lethargy. It's very tiring.

I'd like to talk to my manager about this. But what manager wants to hear that multitasking is difficult for an employee? These days there's so much to do, I think it's expected of you.

Plus, I don't want to go to her without a solution.

How have you handled multitasking and the emotional and physical consequences?
