Guest guest Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 1. I do not understand the stones in a jar thing graham... Is that like rocks in my head?2 i have not heard of MAzlow JOhn3 There was that little ha ha j thing in your email agian Brady4 Can we talk more about someone who is a perfectly normal wonderful human being just not organizzed finds success in a world(medicine) where organization is important? Becasue when you say hey make a list--I know it was me who said that-- or categorize as urgent o non urgent then isn't that being organized??the unorganized person will go under if I tell them that??ore please? 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?
