Guest guest Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 Good one. That is from Covey too (Seven Habits of Highly Successful People).He also suggests categorizing tasks/jobs/time as either Important/NonUrgent, Important/Urgent, NotImportant/NotUrgent, and NotImportant/Urgent.Then we have to keep the focus on the Important/NotUrgent things (like preventive medicine, or sleep, or building good relationships, setting right goals, etc).The Urgent tasks will burn us out so we want to prevent them, even though the Important/Urgent issues do have to be dealt with (patient with chest pain, etc). Goal is to work to limit how often those matters happen.Finally, we have to try to keep the the NotImportant/NotUrgent matters to a very, very minimum as they completely kill our schedules and time management (checking sports scores on WWW, useless small talk that does not improve a relationship, etc).Now, I sure am happy I know how to explain those points. The hard part is really integrating them as my disorganization drives me nuts and hurts my schedule!!! ;-)Good luck to us all in this endeavour. Success will help us, our families and our patients. So it's a worthwhile goal! ... can we get CME credits? ;-)Tim > On Tue, December 2, 2008 10:59 pm EST, Graham Chiu wrote:> > > Sorry for being esoteric> > http://www.8164.org/stones-and-pebbles/> > On Wed, Dec 3, 2008 at 4:54 PM, Graham Chiu wrote:> > Don't sweat the small stuff.> > Get some stones and a jar.> >> > On Wed, Dec 3, 2008 at 4:07 PM, wrote:> >> new thread> >> would like to hear opinions> >>> >> today on a call someone talked about how organization was not her strong> >> suit> >>> >> I get home and there is an email to me form someone else who says the> >> same thing> >>> >> One person says this l eads to low self esteem " I just cannot get my work> >> done " > >>> >> Yikes> >> docs doing good work who i do not measure up to and they have low self> >> esteem...!> >> So i ask my husband , who is like NOT remotely organizationally inclined> >> shall we say, but he is a doc> >>> >> I would like to hear from others what useful tools work to keep the> >> naturally unorganized among you> >> on track?> >>> >> Ideas i have heard so far> >> - make lists> >> - use various tools to help you-- call yourslef / email yourslef> >> - delegate and forget about it with only spot chekc> >> - be flexible in what you think organization is ( eg AM huddle withe> >> satff vs do it for the next day at 5 pm if that works better)> >>> >> other suggestions?> >>> >> Jean(highly organized )> >>> >> --> >> If you are a patient please allow up to 12 hours for a reply by email/> >> please note the new email address.> >> Remember that e-mail may not be entirely secure/> >> Jean Antonucci MD> >> > >> > >> ph fax > >>> >>> >> >> >> > --> > Graham Chiu> > http://www.synapsedirect.com> > Synapse - the use from anywhere EMR.> >> > > > --> Graham Chiu> http://www.synapsedirect.com> Synapse - the use from anywhere EMR.> > ------------------------------------> > Yahoo!

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 Um Doesn’t this fall under chapter 5 of the How’s Your Health book—Problems Are Meant To Be Solved? The problem solving module is not just for our patients but for us as well. In fact, by using the module on ourselves to solve our little dilemmas we can then easily teach our patients how to do it. The cool part is that it is already part of the curriculum. J As for low self esteem…isn’t that why many of us went in to medical school and we continue to strive to be high achievers? Sure we can’t seem to make it up Mazlow’s hierarchy, but we sure are productive little neurotics. By the way, my experience is that “fear of death” also ranks high on the list of unspoken med school motivators. Interestingly, that one seems to fade the older you get even though the self esteem thing persists. Hmmm… being organized new thread would like to hear opinions today on a call someone talked about how organization was not her strong suit I get home and there is an email to me form someone else who says the same thing One person says this l eads to low self esteem " I just cannot get my work done " Yikes docs doing good work who i do not measure up to and they have low self esteem...! So i ask my husband , who is like NOT remotely organizationally inclined shall we say, but he is a doc I would like to hear from others what useful tools work to keep the naturally unorganized among you on track? Ideas i have heard so far - make lists - use various tools to help you-- call yourslef / email yourslef - delegate and forget about it with only spot chekc - be flexible in what you think organization is ( eg AM huddle withe satff vs do it for the next day at 5 pm if that works better) other suggestions?

So i ask my husband , who is like NOT remotely organizationally inclined shall we say, but he is a doc I would like to hear from others what useful tools work to keep the naturally unorganized among you on track? Ideas i have heard so far - make lists - use various tools to help you-- call yourslef / email yourslef - delegate and forget about it with only spot chekc - be flexible in what you think organization is ( eg AM huddle withe satff vs do it for the next day at 5 pm if that works better) other suggestions?

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 This is all great stuff. click on the link that Graham sent regarding the rocks, it is lovely. I am terribly disorganized, but I have one thing I do that works well for me. I use my Outlook Calendar task list like mad. I put my bills to pay and my tickler for patient calls in there, and anything else that I need to do.
