47.// Focus on What Matters Most: How to Prioritize your Life as a Busy Nurse!

In this episode, I share an exercise to help prioritize the things that truly matter in our lives. By brain dumping everything we do on a weekly basis, we can identify what needs to be prioritized first and ease the anxiety of an overwhelming to-do list. I also discuss strategies from "The Perfect Week Formula" book that have given me more guidance and structure to my week, including pushing my morning routine a little later and doing the hardest thing first for 90 minutes.

As nurses, it's important to have control of our time and schedule, and build our careers around our lives.

I introduce the Eisenhower Matrix, which helps to prioritize non-urgent but important work. I guide listeners through the steps of pulling out a sheet of paper and writing down every task, activity, obligation, hobby, meeting, and appointment, then separating them into quadrants labeled Urgent, Not Urgent, Important, and Not Important.

In the next episode, I will cover the 4 D's (Do, Decide, Delegate, Delete) to help bring clarity and propel listeners into action.
