First thing I do is label every box with the date and a short code, then I log it into the central ledger before the shift ends. I keep a clipboard right beside my station so the idea never drifts off the wall. If the boxes start piling up, I schedule a quick review session—just to decide whether it’s a true patient need or just a fancy doodle. That way the chaos stays in its own neat box and never turns into a paperwork nightmare.
