Episode 97 // UNSCRIPTED, Part 3: Workplace-Induced ADHD & the Pharmacy Workflow Mindset
#Multitasking is best explained by the parable “a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush”. If you try to go after too many best is ESSENTIAL to master as a pharmacist…but try to do it outside of the pharmacy, and you will be spinning your wheels with little progress to show for it.
Juggling 30+ tasks at one time is expected as a pharmacist- starting a job and handing it off…jumping in the middle of a process to pick up where it was left off…completing a task you didn’t even start…along with phone calls, patient consultations, managing the drive thru, your technicians, legal requirements, and your own sanity.
Mastering this workflow is essential to thrive as a pharmacist, BUT, if you’re not careful, the thing that sets you up for success in your pharmacy life can wreak havoc in your non-pharmacy life. This concept of “workplace-induced ADHD” is experienced by so many pharmacists, and catches many by surprise who are making the transition from pharmacy student to licensed pharmacist. It’s a phenomenon almost everybody experiences…but almost nobody talks about.
In part 3 of the Unscripted podcast mini-series, I share how I first became aware of this in my practice, and how YOU can make sure you thrive both in and out of the pharmacy mindset.
