Time Management
by Linda Andrews - Medical coders are into analyzing, organizing, and prioritizing, but sometimes medical coding STUDENTS need some help in those areas.
•Do any of these JUMP out at you?
•Are you willing to do what needs to be done to analyze, organize, and prioritize so you can achieve your goals?
Choosing inappropriate or unreasonable goals
Disorganization – Where do you keep your books anyway?!
Distractions
Doing busy work to avoid accomplishing goals
Environment not conducive to work
Failure to prioritize
Getting a late start to your day
Haphazard planning or scheduling of your work
Multitasking – and not in a good way
Need to set a routine with barriers and boundaries
Not being motivated to do the work required to accomplish goals
Not setting apart a time to do your work because it really isn’t a priority
Procrastination
Uncomfortable working space
