I've driven that car to and from work, up to 5 times per week.
Every. Single. Day. I end up in traffic.
I've still never checked the 'traffic radar' my country religiously maintains. Logically, I know I should check it so I can decide to leave earlier or later, my work doesn't mind what time I arrive at all.
But still, every. single. day. Total suprise-pickachu when I'm stuck in traffic again...

I've got a bunch of filters setup (mainly to block out politics and sports) and if I see news things it's usually very niche (like, tech news developments that I actually want to read about as well as scientific advancements).

I need that cause I love Jim Morrison and all his dateline podcasts, but every time a new podcast is made ALL their dateline podcasts receive a new 'promotional' minute-long episode. That's infuriating so I'm glad I can remove them.

Every Monday I have 30 minutes with my (extremely busy) manager, which we specifically plan in before the team weekly standup / capacity meeting. In my prioritisation meeting (we call it a weekly kick-off) I check two things:
- What should I spend 80% of my time this week on?
- What smaller things should I spend the leftover 20% on?
In my case, I firmly hold on to having space for 2 major projects for point 1; that is on my manager to decide which of the two. Ex. We have a dashboard build deadline for client A next week; and we have an internal KPI meeting with various stakeholders that i need to source the data for on Friday. I cannot also do an analysis on the data for client B because i already have my 2 projects for 80% of my time.
For point (2) I give my manager a couple of backlog smaller things I can work on, and they choose the priority of those things.
This all has allowed me to work very efficiently and reduced my stress loads - because it's essentially 'out of my hands'. So if a higher up comes to me on Wednesday asking for me to switch project priorities, I simply point them to my manager and tell them to take it up with their peer. If my manager says okay then sure no problem. That way it's never me saying no, as it well shouldn't be in the role I'm in. I'll also be implementing this when I become a teamlead, so that I can be the person who protects my team members as my manager protects me.
I would recommend you consider if you could depend on your manager or supervisor on doing this for you also. Or are they the person who heaps the extra work on? If so, you don't have a workload-issue, you have a shitty manager issue :(

At my old job we used a screenshot-to-link program that would generate a random link for every screenshot so it would be easy to share.
One day I ALMOST sent a very professional screenshot (containing step-by-step explanations for something) to a large government client of ours, with the URL being something like "screenshottool.com/seXD0gz". Really glad my eye fell on the generated URL that day LOL.

It has absolutely awful search functionality, I had to eventually look for like "cute cat" and scroll a bunch before I found some of my old sticker sets lol. Maybe try again but presume the search is a particularly stupid 5 year old and needs really basic terms? Hah

Thats annoying about the media! I almost exclusively use it on my phone or on my work computer - but i don't want images sent while I'm working to go fullscreen anyway :p

It's been great - I even have the same stickers I used in Telegram, thank heaven I don't have to live without my Pusheen Cat stickers❤️🐱

I didn't realize I hit the mark do exactly with my '20 years ago' comment, but that's pretty much what I meant - essentially that if the parent commenter wasn't talking about their workplace 20 years ago then my (tongue in cheek) horror was justified - aka, who the hell after like, 2018 or so, didn't already utilise a business chat solution?! :p

When you say internal communication, dyou mean like the day to day quick messages, essentially as if you're speaking with a person but virtually, took place via EMAIL?!?!
Before anyone listen-here-young-whippersnapper's me, I'm almost 31, unless this was 20 years ago that just seems beyond inconvenient and inefficient to me.. glad your workplace moved away from that!

Ooo GDPR is a good one, which I definitely echo. I'll add onto that that with GDPR came a heavier focus on data security in general - probably because GDPR forced companies to hire actual data security consultants. Suddenly there's courses on preventing social engineering we have to pass, and the guillotine for those who leave their desk with their computer unlocked! Not complaining mind you - I used to be the only data security 'nag', but now suddenly every other day an email went out from up top scolding everyone about the shit I'd been pointing out for years, LOL
