Whether or not you are a doctor you may be making some of these time management mistakes.
You are probably doing several things which you could easily delegate to someone else.
Maybe you think it's quicker just to get it done yourself.
In the long term it's better to teach someone else what you want done, in relation to tasks which don't have to be done by you, supervise them until they can do them appropriately.
This may use some of your time at first but in the long term this will free up more time for you.
Too may time-wasters: Notice, by logging your activities as you go through your day, if you are doing some things which you could stop doing altogether.
These may be tasks you could do more efficiently or things you do just because you were told years ago that your predecessor used to do this or that.
Notice how much time you spend chatting over a coffee, or attending or organising meetings which are of no value.
Instead, eliminate your time wasters, be more efficient in the way you do things and communicate before meetings so that decisions can be made more quickly.
Not having a life outside of work Instead of using too much work as an excuse not to have a social life, make your life outside of work a vital part of your week.
Plan to spend time with your partner, friends and family or getting involved in community activities.
Decide specifically what you want in these important areas of your life, then look at the ways you can achieve what you want.
Take the appropriate steps to create the time to succeed in having a rewarding professional life and also a fulfilling life outside of work too.
