1. Give Priority. Do the most important work first, your core work. There are important work and just work. Important work is when you will be punished if you did not do it. Other work is when you will not be punished if you do not do it (it takes up your precious time).
If you have too much to do, make sure you have a list to prove it (talk only vs. written proof). With written proof you can simply show your priority to your Boss. No serious argument needed.
If your Boss chooses to decide for you which job to do first, then you have yourself covered if things goes wrong.
2. Consult your friends / colleagues. Do not keep it to yourself if you need help. Constantly consult your friends / colleagues. If he has no expertise, he could show you who you can call on. You save more time by consulting the expert rather than to start from zero. If possible acquire a mentor, who is good in the field.
3. Consult your Boss. Keeping constant contact with your boss is important. It not only ensures that you are on the right track and meeting his expectations, you also get more information and resources you need to complete your work. You get to learn from him (on job training).
4. Delegate. If you can, delegate the work to the person who is capable to do it. Have schedule and dead line. Have a regular check and follow up. Practice progress reports to ensure the job get done.
5. Have a check list. Check list can help you focus and do things systematically, quickly and easily, thereby increasing your efficiency and productivity at work. It must be SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Time bound). Check your achievement daily, to enable you to see what you have achieved.
