My work tasks feel impossible. Task list with deadlines and who is waiting: [TASK_LIST]. My working hours and any flexibility: [HOURS]. My manager's style and priorities as I understand them: [MANAGER_NOTES].

Create a triage in three steps. First, classify each task using importance and urgency into four groups and justify each placement in one phrase. Second, find tasks that can be delegated, delayed, simplified, or declined, and for each write the exact request I could send. Third, draft a short message to my manager that lays out my capacity honestly and asks them to confirm priorities, using no more than 120 words and a respectful tone. Add a daily plan for the next three days that fits my hours. Flag any task that you cannot place because information is missing and ask for it.

Please keep suggestions general and non-medical, and remind me that persistent or severe problems deserve a conversation with a qualified professional. In an emergency, I should call local emergency services.
