Sarah's Monday morning 

It is 8am. Four things are competing for Sarah's attention. Only one can come first. Step into her shoes and find out what happens when you get it right and when you don't.

Sarah has just arrived at work. Before she has taken off her coat, she is already facing a backlog of urgent referrals, a distressing message from a member of her team, an email from her manager about a new operational target, and a report due at noon.

This is not unusual. This is a Tuesday in community nursing. What matters is not whether Sarah can do everything she cannot. What matters is that she prioritises wisely. In this scenario, you will help her do exactly that.

What you will practise

✓ Applying the Eisenhower Matrix to real-time pressure

✓ Distinguishing between Do it and Delete it tasks

✓ Understanding the consequences of reactive decision-making

✓ Thinking like a sustainable leader, not just a busy one

A quick reminder of the Eisenhower Matrix

You are ready to begin Remember: Sarah cannot do everything. Your job is to help her do the right things, in the right order. There are two decision points ahead. Take your time with each one. Apply the Eisenhower Matrix, not instinct. When you reach the end, reflect on how the right decisions changed Sarah's morning and what that might look like in your own working week.
