For these reasons, your bandwidth is one of your most valuable cognitive resources.&nbsp;Aim to protect&nbsp;it, especially in moments requiring prolonged attention and attentiveness.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Managing your Bandwidth <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Focus on one thing at a time.<\/strong>&nbsp;Our \u2018always on\u2019 environment&nbsp;exposes us to a constant stream of information, and in such a culture it is easy to falsely assume that we&nbsp;must&nbsp;multitask&nbsp;to&nbsp;cope with the information overload.&nbsp;However, studies have found that multitasking may be more inefficient than focusing on a single&nbsp;task,&nbsp;and&nbsp;is associated with a greater rate of making errors.<sup>1<\/sup>&nbsp;Instead, strive for&nbsp;sustained, focused&nbsp;attention on a single task.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Minimize Distractions<\/em><\/strong>.&nbsp;In a similar vein,&nbsp;aim to minimize distractions to improve sustained attention.&nbsp;If you are studying for an exam, aim to separate social media and cellphone usage from your revision time, and&nbsp;choose a suitable environment free from distractions. In a clinical setting, it may not always be possible to remove or avoid distractions \u2013&nbsp;studies&nbsp;showed that&nbsp;emergency physicians receive up to 15 distractions per hour!<sup>2<\/sup>&nbsp;Instead,&nbsp;a more practical approach would be to&nbsp;practice prioritization as described below.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Prioritize<\/em><\/strong>. Many things will call out for your attention; it is up to you to decide what is urgent, what is&nbsp;important&nbsp;and how quickly each task should be responded to.&nbsp;The Eisenhower Matrix provides a useful&nbsp;starting point&nbsp;for this:&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"529\" src=\"https:\/\/studenthub.elsevier.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/02\/image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2696\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.4178011219494766;width:589px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/studenthub.elsevier.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/02\/image.png 750w, https:\/\/studenthub.elsevier.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/02\/image.png?resize=300,212 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>The Eisenhower Matrix.
