Exploring The Role Of Time Management In Nursing

Great Essays
My time is limited. Regardless of the calling over my life, the things I need to complete, I will always only have 1,440 minutes a day; 8,765 hours a year. In this time that I have been blessed with, I want to achieve everything that God has equipped me for. The only way to achieve this is to spend my time wisely. Time management is an essential discipline to understand, evaluate and implement in any Christian walk to optimise the usage of time for God and fulfil His larger-than-life plans.

Sleep deprivation, stress and endless are all words that I frequently associated with time management. I have always understood it to be a character trait, someone either has it or they don’t. The concept of time management being an attainable discipline seemed impossible and, at best, optimistically delusional. To me, time management was a useful tool for completing as much as possible in the shortest amount of time. Our culture promotes the ideal that bigger is better, quantity over

The ‘Simple Church” or “Organic Church” Christian movement is based around moving the modern-day church to an experience close to that of the New Testament . The movement suggests that the church needs to return to the ‘basics’ due to the surplus of structures and traditions that is believed to have polluted the Church . The ‘Simple Church’ is synonymous with choosing flexibility in an effort to follow the Spirit completely, by removing the majority of time frames. There is conjecture about the longevity of this approach, questioning whether there is the ability to maintain a Spirit-guided direction without the allocation of time for needed Christian Disciplines

    Even when an ample amount of time is exerted overall, extreme care must be taken to ensure all subjects are getting the attention they deserve. A haphazard method of determining what is “most important”, and how much time should be allotted for each subject, has proven to be for the most part successful, yet leaves a large and inevitable margin for error, and so inevitably creates additional stress. Errors come easily when sleep deprivation, and exhaustion play a part. The question at hand is, how will time management and planning throughout the week help structure study time for more efficient…

    MGT411 VB – Assignment 5 Reflection After reading all of my discussion board members’ posts, I realized that everyone has similar experiences with experiencing stress and time restrictions. Hearing about everyone else’s issues helps to put things in perspective. There was a resounding agreement that working nonstop is not the best way to handle a busy schedule, and several stress-relieving strategies were shared. I think that Sammi Cardinal’s suggestion about eating healthily is something that should be taken more seriously, and I am surprised that it is not included in this text.…

    Francis Wayland Analysis

    • 6 Pages

    Francis Wayland’s Notes on the Principles and Practices of Baptist Churches is an extensive anthology of papers, essays, and instructions on Baptist faith and practice. The subjects of the work sprawl from specifically Baptist theological, ethical, and political commitments—i.e., principles—to concrete issues of polity, preaching, ordination, membership, theological curriculum, and sermon preparation—i.e., practices. What unites these essays, of course, is their Baptist distinctiveness, which, for Wayland, might be more particularly rendered as a commitment to the New Testament as the “only rule of faith and practice” (92). Rather than attempting to comment on all the papers assembled here, I will focus on a few select discussions that detail…

    Steve Jobs once said “Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve encountered to help make the big choices in life.” This may seem a little extreme, however, keeping this in the back of one’s head will serve as a reminder that time management is more than just a phrase thrown around to describe a seemingly unattainable trait. Managing time is an integral part of living a fulfilling life for everyone, particularly U.S. Navy personnel. Junior officers in the Navy need to figure out how to adequately manage their time because proper time management results in a more efficient force. For JO’s to overcome the problem of poor time management, it’s necessary to understand what time management is & isn’t, then determine how…

    A leader, according to John C. Maxwell is someone who “knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way. As I look back on my own life, I see how my leadership skills have grown and how far I need to go to be a successful leader. Determined, driven, and goal- oriented, are just some of my many characteristics as a leader. Passiveness, stress, and worrying are my weakest point in my life. Demonstrating these point can be easily shown in this year’s FBLA community server project and my role as FBLA secretary.…

    Foucault State Power

    The United State is 3.8 million square miles wide and has over 324 million people inside of its boarders, but shares the same federal government. The few people in the three branches of the federal government make laws for this vast and diverse population, and the people of the country do little to demand better representation. This is because the American citizens have been conditioned to be docile bodies, where the governing state “[increases] the forces of the body (in terms of economic utility) and diminishes these same forces (in political terms of obedience)” (Foucault 138). This is not specific to the American public, but rather a phenomenon occurring throughout the world.…

    “In every association of human beings there needs to be a way of resolving disputes and differences of opinion concerning guilt or innocence and varying interpretation of basic law”. The book The Organization of the United Methodist Church, written by Jack Tuell does a good job of clarifying the politics behind the Methodist Church. I will admit, I am much more drawn to the history behind the Methodist tradition itself as it tells our story as a community of believers. However, it appears we need some sort of order for things to run smooth…or not. …
