66: Save yourself $25k with THIS

This MVP episode features the single best life lesson from a $25,000 training- seriously. It’s here for you for free in this weeks’ podcast!
 
Binary thinking is when you only see two horrible options: I can either 1) stay in this miserable job as it gets worse or 2) leave this miserable job for an even more miserable job. 
 
Telescoping thinking is when you see only one horrible option: I have no choice but to stay in this miserable job.
 
Binary and telescoping trap you into overworking at work, at home, and in your relationships. Find out how to be DONE with this type of thinking in this week’s podcast. When you do, here's the super power you get:
Leave work at 4p WITHOUT feeling guilty. 
Say No to joining another committee you don’t want to be on without fear that the boss will be upset with you.  
Enjoy Sundays without thinking about another unfair work schedule.

65: boss can't torpedo your day with this...

This is what it looks like when boss torpedoes our day:
 
Boss emails that she needs you “to be a team player and volunteer” to cover more call shifts.
You argue in your head– the schedule is already unfair with the senior men with stay-at-home wives already covering less call as-is. BTW, you’re right about all of this!
Your productivity grinds to a halt. The next thing you know, you’re exhausted, the day’s over, and it’s time to race to pickup kids before daycare closes. Feeling defeated, you agree to the extra call. You get home and fight with husband. There’s little sleep that night. The next day, you're exhausted before the day starts and the work is even harder on a tired mind.
 
In this week’s podcast you get a 5-second tool to interrupt ALL OF THIS.  Even though your boss will still email you about "being a team player," you CAN have an entirely different experience. Here’s what it looks like for boss’s email NOT to torpedo your day:
Boss sends email.
You implement this weeks’ tool.
You don’t go down the rabbit hole; you don’t accept more call shifts this time; boss still sorts out the call schedule.
You stay focused and get your work done AHEAD of schedule.
You get to daycare early, get home feeling RELIEVED to be home to enjoy a quiet evening with the family.
You snuggle with family in the evening and get a great night's sleep.
The next day you're excited to go to work. You get your work done fast. You get home faster.

64: 57 surprising ways to leave work early today without taking PTO

This week's podcast gives you 57 surprising ways to get home today. It’s the opposite of what you think and that’s just why it works!
 
The chronic habit of overworking keeps us staying late at work. It causes chronic suffering that usually sounds like this: I should be further ahead, my schedule is always the worst, I’ll never be valued by the boss. 
 
In this week’s podcast you’ll learn how to interrupt this overworking habit loop to get home sooner today. This works even if you have a tyrant of a boss, you're understaffed, or you’re fresh out of training. 
 
The key to interrupting the overworking habit loop is this: shift from self-focused to other-focused. There is good science that shows self-focus causes intense suffering and being other-focused causes immediate relief. Here are a few examples; pick just one and get ready to be home sooner tonight.
 
Self-focused: I’m behind and I’ll never catch up.
Other-focused: I’m going to take one extra moment to thank the janitor and help brighten up her day.
 
Self-focused: My boss never supports me.
Other-focused: I’m going to be the example of the boss I want to be by giving my resident a few minutes of supporting encouragement by starting off with what she did well yesterday.
 
This approach takes LESS TIME (not more time). Being other focused CREATES more energy because your mind stops looping on the suffering. You’ll feel better. You’ll be energized. You’ll think faster and get home sooner without rehashing work all day and night.
 
Here’s what you get in this week’s podcast: 
🫶🏼57 surprising ways to leave work early today without taking PTO 
🫶🏼Why the usual physician job isn’t enough to reap the rewards of being other-focused
🫶🏼How being other-focused CREATES more time & energy

62: one decision fixes an overwhelming day

Here's the answer to an overwhelming day– constrain to your minimum baseline.
 
Your brain (just like mine) would prefer to overwork in all the ways:
🚨Answer work emails immediately all day long, interrupting your highest-quality thinking and extending your day by hours
🚨Host the faculty candidate for the entire day instead of just attending the Grand Rounds lecture
🚨Clean the inside of the refrigerator when mother-in-law comes over instead of treating her to a simple birthday brunch at her favorite cafe so someone else can do the cooking & cleaning
 
Overworking has you working 2.0FTE.
This weeks' tool makes overworking HISTORY.
It gets you home HOURS EARLIER EACH DAY.
Try it now and see results BEFORE LUNCH.

57: the secret to dealing with a bad schedule, colleague, & boss WITHOUT losing sleep

This got me fuming mad when I was practicing Medicine:
a totally unfair work schedule
a surgeon yelling at me about a positive margin
my boss (who didn't have kids) telling me that good moms don’t travel so much 
 
My anger made so much sense.
I don’t like doing MORE than my share of clinical work.
I don’t like ANYONE yelling at me.
I don’t like anyone suggesting that I’m not a good mom.
 
Here’s why I got tripped up:  I made all of this mean there was something wrong with me.
I had a terrible work schedule because I wasn’t as valuable. 
The surgeon yelled at me because I didn’t carry myself as confidently as my male counterparts.
Maybe I wasn’t being a good mom. 
Cue the sleepless nights, yelling at myself 24/7, and soothing myself with ice cream until I didn't fit into my pants. No fun.
 
In this week’s podcast episode, you get the secret to dealing with a bad schedule, colleague, and boss WITHOUT losing sleep and beating yourself up:
✳️Recognize when you're blaming you and redirect your brain towards the REAL problem (it's never you!)
✳️Create REAL solutions 
✳️Feel better fast because you know how to handle an unfair schedule, a yelling surgeon, and a bad boss
✳️Four case studies to show you how this tool works in real-time
