You begin a new role but keep handling the tasks from the previous one. A few are familiar and quick. Others need the same time they always did. The new work is added to a week that was already full.
List the old responsibilities that remain with you. Ask which should transfer, stop or continue, and who can make that decision. Include recurring maintenance and questions from people who still think of you as the previous owner.
Give transfers a date
For each task moving to someone else, agree on a handover date and the information they need. If nobody is available to take it, ask how that changes expectations for the new role. Avoid promising the full output of both roles without discussing capacity.
Keep the agreed list somewhere you and your manager can refer to. When an old request arrives, direct it according to the new arrangement. If a transition period is necessary, review it on the date agreed rather than letting temporary double duty become the default workload.
