How To Be Effective and On Task As A Nurse
- Make mornings less hectic by preparing lunches, laying out clothes, setting out breakfast, etc. the night before.
- Get rid of anxiety-causing clutter. If you haven’t used it in the last six months, it’s time to let it go. Try to handle paperwork just once. Sort mail as it comes in and toss junk mail immediately. Designate a place for bills, pay them once or twice a month, then file immediately.
- Learn to say no. Decline tasks and invitations you don’t have time for or don’t enjoy. It’s okay to be a little selfish. Your free time is precious; spend it doing what you enjoy most.
- Learn to delegate at home and at work. Encourage self-esteem in your family and co-workers by delegating appropriate tasks. To be successful, it’s important to focus on the goal. Remember, there are many ways to accomplish a task, not just your way. Teach yourself to praise the accomplishment, not criticize the method.
- Create a “to do list”. This allows you to transfer tasks from your mind and onto a piece of paper. Then your brain space becomes available for something else!
- Prioritize your “to do list”. After enumerating your tasks, put them in a logical order for completion. The short time spent will save time repeatedly trying to remember what you need to do and in what order you should do it.
- Cross each task off your list as you complete it. This gives a sense of accomplishment and finalizes the task!
- Make new lists at the end of each day for work and home. This saves you from waking up at one in the morning thinking about the dental appointment you need to make. Since it is already on the list you won’t be thinking about it! When you get up each morning, you can grab your list and get started. No time wasted!
- Declutter your storage area. Whether it is your desk, locker at work, or kitchen cabinets, decluttering your space will add peace of mind and save time finding items you really need! If you have not used it in six months you do not need it! Why are you holding onto that grater you bought to shred cheese for tacos in 1989?
- Declutter your paperwork. Yes….that pile of mail that keeps growing as if fertilized. Take time to sort the paperwork and mail in your midst. Clearing it out will provide a sense of clarity and save time riffling through the pile repeatedly looking for something. Who knows? You may even find an uncashed check in the pile!
- Learn the simple word, “No”. It really is okay not to be everything to everyone. Politely decline those tasks you don’t have time for or don’t care to do. It’s okay. Someone else will do them!
