Our brains just don&#8217;t work that way. Instead of multitasking, <strong>focus specifically on the one thing that&#8217;s your current priority<\/strong>. Believe it or not, you&#8217;ll likely be able to <strong>do things faster and more efficiently<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, let&#8217;s look at some <strong>standard tasks for a nurse<\/strong>. If they first receive a <strong>call with a request<\/strong>, then look at their <strong>chart to determine the right medication<\/strong>, gives the <strong>medication to the patient<\/strong>, and then <strong>documents what they did<\/strong>, they can easily focus on each task. However, if they try to <strong>update the chart<\/strong> while giving the patient their medication or attempt to <strong>take a phone call from their bedside<\/strong>, they&#8217;ll be far less effective, and likely feel overwhelmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To <strong>prioritize<\/strong>, give the <strong>Eisenhower matrix<\/strong> a try! Start by dividing your tasks into four categories: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Urgent and Important<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Not So Urgent but Important<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Urgent but Not So Important<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Not So Urgent and Not So Important<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then consider the following scenarios:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You receive 1) a <strong>lab value with imminent health implications<\/strong>, 2) an <strong>out-of-range lab value<\/strong>, 3) a <strong>notification that rounds are starting while you&#8217;re with a patient<\/strong>, and 4) feel the <strong>need to check social media<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Which one is most urgent? Which is least urgent? How would you classify each of the above?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most people would agree that spending a lot of time in the <strong>urgent and important<\/strong> category and not as much time in the <strong>not-so-urgent and not-so-important<\/strong> category makes sense. Many of us, however, spend too much time in the <strong>urgent but not-so-important<\/strong> category and not enough time in the <strong>not-so-urgent but important<\/strong> category. We spend all day <strong>putting out small fires<\/strong>, but if you can shift more of your time to the <strong>not-so-urgent but important<\/strong> category, you&#8217;ll feel good about yourself because you&#8217;re <strong>accomplishing things that are important<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>The top three tips for spending more of your time in the &#8220;<strong>Not so urgent but important<\/strong>&#8221; category are:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Remove distractions<\/strong> (e.g., turn off your phone and find a quiet spot).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Give yourself deliverables<\/strong> (for example, reward yourself after studying six of twelve topics).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Make yourself accountable<\/strong> (schedule a time to go to the gym with a friend, for example).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Helpful_Advice_to_Improve_Your_Time_Management\"><\/span>Helpful Advice to Improve Your Time Management<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Osmosis<\/strong> has a variety of <strong>blog articles<\/strong> covering topics to help you <strong>improve your time management strategies<\/strong> and <strong>stay organized<\/strong>.
