With scorching competition in the industry, days of non chair time is on the rise. What it has contributed in last few days is more of facebook, whatsapp and other social media channels coming into the practice.The practice owners in the first three years of their practice on an average spends close to two hours daily on social media platforms.
This is like 60 hours in a month and 720 hours in a year.
And this just the clinical time spent on social media, the total time spent is way more.
The non clinical hours in clinic refers to some the time which we spend in clinic when there is no patient and we are just finding it difficult to get over this time and proceed towards a positive affirmative aspect rather than down in the shell of an unproductive day because if you have realized social media creates even more depressing thoughts in your mindset.
Here is a list of some interesting and productive ways to spend your time in clinic in the non clinical hours.
1. Staff training for soft skills
2. Self training on soft skills
3. Self training on clinical skills
4. Staff training for basic life support
5. Staff Training for Procedural preparation
6. Reading books
7. Meeting people out of your practice
8. Zoning your time line which will help you attend courses and conferences
Executing these things will bestow you with the art of self introspection which will ultimately make you realize that this wonderful life is meant to enjoy people meeting them real time. Social media is just a small aid to connect to people but we are missing out the real fun by making it the only way of interaction. So have fun and enjoy your exquisite life.
