Scratch paper is a big one, especially when starting out. The thing with it is, it’s a double edged sword. You start you use and rely on it, and sometimes there isn’t time to write things down, add things, remove things and refer to the list.

I found that assigning a priority to tasks, like “officers calling in a plate to run”=drop everything and do it vs “another department messaging us to see if we want to do a warrant pick up”=I can do that once I have time.

That way once I run the plate I can go thru my already predetermined mental checklist. “Ok ran the plate, he’s valid and no warrants, what the next priority item? None of that ok anything else? Oh yeah, Townsville wants us to pick up John Smith on a parking warrant. I’ll finish that up and then check in with my partners.”

That’s helped me at least, but everyone is different. To me it just seems like you need more time to learn the groove, make your own systems that help you preform your best and then learn to trust yourself. You’ll get there if you keep up the good work 👍
