They give me a script and I act out various patient roles for nurses in
training or those going for a professional certification.
The hospital staff and I evaluate them and provide feedback on their patient
care style and medical expertise.
It quickly became evident that those that followed the system they had been taught,
were WAY more likely to diagnose my ailments and save my life than those who were just 'shooting from the hip' trying to figure out what was wrong with me and
what they should do about it.
That experience started me thinking about the value of process and
systems in improving productivity and efficiency at work.
Even for simple activities, using a framework will keep you focused, on task and produce more consistent,
reliable results.
You won't waste that early morning quiet time (if you have any) trying to
figure out what to focus on.
Even if, especially if, you have a full day right off the bat, knowing what you'll do
before you get in will allow you to allocate precious time more quickly than if you get
caught up in the back-to-back meeting syndrome so many people suffer from.
Of course, if the 'emergency' is a critical one, you will have to deal with it quickly,
but keeping your own important goals top-of-mind will help you triage situations and give things demanding your attention their
proper place in the larger scheme of things.
This one takes courage, but if you're prioritizing things correctly, you'll
make the right decisions.
If you're really worried you'll miss something from your demanding and
irrational boss, scan your inbox if you must, but resist the urge to do anything you don't absolutely have to until you've
knocked out your top item(s).
Taking a short 10-minute break, even in the midst of a critical project, will
rejuvenate your brain cells and reignite your creativity.
Incorporate these tips and see, not only how much more you
accomplish, but also how much better you'll feel in the process.
