When we talk about "tasks at hand", we usually refer to the things that need to be done immediately or the current responsibilities that require our attention. However, if you want to avoid repeating this phrase, here are some synonyms that you can use to convey the same message effectively. Some of these synonyms include "immediate priorities", "current assignments", "urgent duties", "present obligations", "ongoing initiatives", "active projects" and "live undertakings". By using different terminology, you can add variety to your communication while still conveying the same urgency and importance of the tasks that need to be accomplished.
