Definitely prioritising urgent tasks and breaking them into manageable components to ensure all required tasks are efficiently attended

Meeting tight deadlines while maintaining quality is always a challenge, but a structured approach can make all the difference.!

To meet deadlines effectively as part of a team, start with clear communication—inform everyone about deadlines and updates promptly. Break tasks into smaller, manageable parts and assign them based on individual strengths. Foster collaboration and encourage teamwork by sharing responsibilities and supporting each other. Keep the team motivated with short breaks to maintain focus and efficiency. Use tools and regular check-ins to track progress and adjust plans if needed. Prioritize cooperation and create a positive work environment to ensure smooth and timely project completion. This approach ensures success and efficiency.

Early in the shift, develop a daily list. Set an ABC priority (not everyone will be on this list). Know that until you get into the case, you won’t know the needs—the future is incomplete. Some patients I thought required 20 minutes of work only required 5 minutes and a kind word that day. I realized that today wasn’t the day to prepare this work. The future would provide more information, things could change, and I would start over. In another face-to-face, I got a sense that more time was needed that day. I stopped, listened, and revised. In the end, we never get all the work done in a day. Once I realized that, I let things go and started fresh the next day. Letting go of cases and staying present is vital to lowering stress.
