<p>One of the most common challenges that many doctors face is <a href="http://www.thedoctorscoach.co.uk/timepack" target="_blank">managing their time effectively</a>. When you aren’t time aware the medical work seems to be endless and takes priority over the rest of your life. This means that your work-life balance suffers. The less you manage your time the more the problem grows. You begin to feel overwhelmed and frustrated and become less efficient as a result. You don’t sleep well which also increases the problem. This has an impact on your life outside of work too. </p>

<li>Reclaim time for yourself, during evenings and weekends &#8211; you are important and having time for yourself is vital. So when you begin to free up time set goals just for you, and do things you&#8217;ve missed while you&#8217;ve been so busy.</li>
<li>Speed up tasks by making simple changes -even quite simple changes will make a huge difference and save time. Spend a few minutes each day observing what you are doing. Perhaps moving something nearer to your desk or the examination couch will have a profound effect (or at least save you a few minutes)</li>
<li>Have equipment to use on the patient close to hand &#8211; if you have to walk across the room each time you need to use your stethoscope then move it into your pocket or next to you ( or have a spare one )</li>
<li>Input the computer with as little as possible shift in your chair &#8211; arrange yourself, your chair, the patient and the computer as conveniently as you can so there is little movement between them all!</li>
<li>Make a chart of routine daily tasks for yourself &#8211; so you can tick them off as you complete them.</li>
<li>Break down the big tasks into small chunks &#8211; so you make a start rather than never even getting started.</li>
<li>Set a timer for half an hour and see how much you can get done in that time -surprise yourself by whizzing through some of the boring things quickly.</li>
<li>Change activities every half an hour &#8211; by doing this you will keep fresh and not bored.</li>
<li>Leave paperwork in a special area of your desk so you can get back to it easily &#8211; you are ready to pick a task whenever there is an opportunity to do so.</li>
<li>Use time management tools such as an on-line calendar -so you never have to search for your diary and have everything listed together.</li>
<li>Establish routines and stick to them as much as possible &#8211; this means introduce new time aware habits and consciously follow them until you have repeated them so they become on auto-pilot.</li>
<li>Have a file management system on your computer and in your office organise where you put things.</li>
<li>Delete or throw away as much as possible.</li>
<li>Things you feel must be kept file in a filing cabinet or in folders in my documents.</li>
<li>Enjoy life when you&#8217;ve taken control of your time &#8211; now that you have more time get out there and enjoy yourself.</li>
<li>Set goals, step out of your comfort zone and find out what life has to offer you now!</li>
