Managing a single project well is rarely enough, especially for smaller projects. Most professionals in tech, marketing, consulting, or creative industries juggle multiple projects simultaneously. On average, this can be between three and five smaller projects. One day might begin with a project kickoff call, transition into a requirements elicitation meeting, and end with finalizing a training document, with each of these activities belonging to a different project.

Social loafing is the perceived psychological phenomenon that people do less work when theyre in a group setting. Think of the classic school project, where one or two high-achievers do 80% of the work while the rest of the team loaf around. Unfortunately, social loafing or the perception of it occurs in the workplace, too. When teammates see (or even think) that others are doing less work than them but still getting the same reward, it can cause conflict and demotivation.
