Couple of thoughts: 1. For any development, set a realistic estimate and delivery date. Try to do this before you actually start working on it. It's guestimating but it'll help big time. 2. If you've got tons of people asking for stuff it might be time to ask for help. Perhaps you might need another developer there to handle some of hte load 3. If people want things fast, explain that there will be more time spent making requested changes than if you had a solid list of requests to work from. 4. Set your standards and set your goals realistically. If someone wants something and you don't think you can get it done in that amount of time, tell them.
All of these take time, but they'll help!
