Salesforce Admin's Survival Guide: From Overwhelmed to In Control

You Inherited a Mess. Here's How to Get Ahead of It.

When I first became a Salesforce admin, I felt like I was drowning in 
requests, updates, and "urgent" issues. Sound familiar?

This guide is what I wish someone had handed me on day one. It's the 
system I built after years of late nights, countless hours of 
troubleshooting, and learning the hard way.

WHAT'S INSIDE:

- Request triage framework (what's urgent vs. what feels urgent)
- Weekly rhythm template to stay ahead of your queue
- Scripts for pushing back on scope creep without burning bridges
- Checklist for the recurring tasks you keep forgetting
- Documentation templates so you stop explaining the same thing twice
- Sanity-saving automation ideas you can implement this week

WHO THIS IS FOR:

- Solo admins managing Salesforce without backup
- "Accidental admins" who got voluntold into the role
- Anyone whose Salesforce request queue causes anxiety
- Admins who want to be strategic partners, not ticket-takers

THE REALITY:

Being a great Salesforce admin isn't about technical skills alone. 
It's about systems, boundaries, and knowing what to prioritize. 
This guide gives you all three.
