I would never advise dishonesty period. But Alorael's point about triage is spot on. The odds are good that some point in your work life, you will find yourself with more tasks then what you can accomplish. The first choice is always to become more efficient and do more with less. This can be accomplished by coming up with better ways to do something, or applying only the appropriate amount of effort to get the necessary result and not one bit of effort more. The reality is that is not always possible and sometimes you just have to decide what you are not going to do (usually based on someone else's criteria) and be prepared to accept the consequences of that decision.
