 Here's one efficiency trick that I think every doctor needs to know about. Now, one of the biggest issues when you're going through training and particularly when you're a brand new attending like me is everyone is going to want your attention. Nurses, physical therapists, other doctors, pharmacists, you name it. And often, whether it's a pager or a text message that you get, you feel like you have to respond to that message immediately. But one thing that I learned early in my training is it's important to one, look at the message to make sure it's not an emergency. Number two is to finish whatever task you're doing. So if I'm writing a note, I may finish that section of the note before responding to the question. If I'm putting in orders, I may finish the rest of those orders and then respond. Most nurses and other staff members who may be paging or sending you a message aren't expecting a response within 30 seconds. So if you're using this strategy, you're always going through your to-do list and thus building momentum while still answering the questions that other people have from you.
