How To Avoid Distractions

It’s easy to get distracted from what’s important at work. 

It happens to all of us. 

We’ve all got other things going on outside of work. 

Getting distracted is a reality, but we also must understand that there’s consequences for being distracted.  

Being distracted can keep you from focusing on your top performers. 

When you’re distracted, you don’t keep your team motivated. 

Your marginal performers start to slack off because you’re not paying attention. 

When you’re distracted, you take your eyes off the bottom line. 

Distractions can be devastating to the long-term productivity of an organization. 

So you must find a way to avoid them. 

How To Avoid Distractions 

  1. Make A List 

The best way to start is by making a list of all the things you need to get done. 

Don’t worry about putting them in an order.  

You just need to get them all on a sheet of paper.  

  1. Prioritize Your List 

After you’ve made your list, figure out when you need to get these things done. 

Figure out what needs to be done today. 

If you don’t get something done today, will there be a problem? 

Does everything have to be done this week, or even this month? 

  1. Revisit Your List 

Look at your list every day. 

It should be the first thing you do each morning! 

This is how you avoid distractions and make sure to get things done.

Now, you’re evaluating what you should be looking for in your next executive role.

You’ve been through the fire before and you know how hard it is to work in an organization with a leader that doesn’t value your skills and a team that doesn’t respect your expertise.

This doesn’t allow you to help the people you came to help; the patients and the frontline members that look up to you.

You need to be in an environment that nurtures you but there is a chance you can jump out of this frying pan and into one that’s worse.

You need to slow down and really think about what environment you want to be in and what it takes to be successful as a leader.

Why Nursing Leadership Is Important

Everyone needs to understand why leadership in nursing is important.

Let me explain what’s happening right now.

There are 9.7 million healthcare workers on the front lines in healthcare.

It is projected that in the next five years, 6.5 million of those workers will leave the healthcare industry and not come back.

It is also projected that only 2 million people will replace that 6.5 million leaving.

This means that in the next five years, we’ll be in a healthcare crisis.

Right now is the time for you to be a nursing leader with impact.
