Effective Time Management For Healthcare Workers

https://youtu.be/0-FE4thTzcE

I help healthcare workers lead happier lives with my SEBM(Stress and Employee Burnout Management) System.

Start by diving your work into 3 main categories:
-Work that needs to be done as it shows up like attending to patients without appointments or responding to emergencies. These need immediate attention and there is not much you can plan ahead of time
-Work that is time-sensitive like patient appointments, planned procedures, meetings are all related to specific days and times
-Work that needs to be done ASAP but is not really time-sensitive. Some tasks need to be completed and you can fit it into gaps you have available like admin tasks that you can put on a to-do list not a calendar

Who To Set Boundaries With

Family members may be a source of stress because they often want more from you than you can give. So, although it is important to help them, it's also important to not burn out trying to please everyone
-Friends care about you and want what's best for you, but they don't always know what that is
-You need to be able to say no when your co-workers ask for help as it may not be possible to be at your best when you have too much on your plate
-If a patient want more from you than you are comfortable giving, then it is time to set a boundary by saying it is not part of your job description as a healthcare professional
