Ask for the help when you can't do the task

If you are delegated a task that you are unable to perform because of your lack of knowledge or time, don't hesitate to discuss it with your employer. If you attempt to accomplish this task, you'll have chances to procrastinate with it, feel stress during its implementation or don't finish it at all. It would be smarter to explain it to the manager and ask him/her to delegate this task to other employee who has capabilities to accomplish it properly. In such case you will have the possibility to focus on those tasks that you have skills to cope with.
