There will always be an ebb and flow to your career. There isn't, in my mind, a clear-cut answer because there are too many variables. Are you working in start-up that is short on cash? Are you in an established organization that is just being cheap by not hiring? Do you work for a manager that is not recognizing the volume of work they have laid on you? But if I were in that situation, the very first thing I would do is some personal reflection. Is this job worth it? Is this company worth it? Is this manager worth it? Do I believe this is a short-term or long-term problem? Is this job helping me reach the professional goals I want to achieve? The answers to those questions will help you navigate your way forward.

First, I would evaluate your workload and determine if it is realistic that you, or anyone, can manage it given your time and resources. If not, talk to your supervisor about getting assistance or revising deadlines. If it is realistic, get organized! There are many different strategies and tools out there to increase your productivity so explore what's out there and find what works for you.
