Narrative:
On descent into bur we contacted joshua approach on 124.55 and we were cleared to cross janny intersection at 8000 ft on the lynnx arrival into bur. Due to high workloads, turbulence, and preparing the cabin and flight attendants for landing early due to a santa ana wind condition, as the PF I didn't start down soon enough and as I noticed this the controller came on and remarked that it didn't look like we were going to make it. We acknowledged as such and he went off to talk to bur approach for lower. He returned and just said contact bur approach for lower. No problem, and no apparent loss of IFR separation, and no TCASII warnings were received. We continued normally into bur at the time. The busy atmosphere on approach requires better awareness, planning and handling of clrncs. Thanks for taking the report.
