Keeping your sanity

Kinda looking for some advice from other mechanics/tradespeople. The last month or so work has just gotten me wound right up. Is it common for most mechanic shops to be a complete disorganized mess in terms of communication? It just seems like its a constant battle to get anything done. Everything from wrong parts being ordered to getting half-assed cross shift notes (if any at all) to having to do 4 other people's jobs. What's the best way to stay sane in a circus like this?
