One of the chapters in my soon to be released book deals with the time we spend daily on things that may not be important enough to merit the time and stress related to them. Many of these things cost money, with very little benefit. Others may not cost money directly, but because of the stress related to over scheduling-the costs are more emotional than monetary.
One of the most common causes of nurses leaving the field of nursing is burnout. With a job as emotionally stressful as nursing, any other strains added to the normal job strain, can push good nurses “over the edge” so to speak, and lead them to quit.
What are a few of those strains?
- Financial Stress-that is what this blog and my book-The Millionaire Nurse is all about.
- Time Stress-Please see this great post by Jennifer in another personal finance blog.
- Marital Stress-Which can frequently be linked to the two stresses above.
So please take the time to do a life inventory. Begin to read, study, and discuss with your family what is truly important, and begin to whittle away at the “stuff” we let get in the way.
Let me hear your time and money concerns, questions, and your recommendations if you have made progress in these areas.
