I shared with my Charting Champions this weekend regarding my decision to go for a hike with my hiking buddy. Prior to using a life coach I would always pass the offer of a hike through this filter: "Do I deserve to go on this walk? Have I done enough? Are my inboxes empty?" Do you ask yourself these questions before you enjoy your weekend? I want you to catch yourself if you do this.... So ... if I had things to do in my inbox, or charts to do, why did I deserve to go on this walk? Find out "WHY" by reading the rest of the article (Click the image below). P.S. Charting Champions is open for you, and you get access to the on demand video lessons right away with LIVE coaching each week!

#physician #familyphysician #careforyourself A backlog is a terrible thing, isn’t it? It’s certainly something that we often choose to hide as physicians. We use it as a source of shame, guilt, frustration, and overwhelm. Many physicians have had their jobs threatened, or even lost their jobs, due to mountains of unfinished charts or inboxes. When you understand this, you can see why you would keep that sort of thing to yourself. Every day the list grows bigger, and physician...s get discouraged. Where do you even start? It follows you everywhere, casting a shadow on every activity. Life gets put on hold. Physicians schedule weekends, evenings, mornings to try to get a handle on it, to try to beat this backlog into submission. But despite every effort, it’s still too much.

#physician #team Ever thought you were not the right person for a task? There are tasks that we as physicians do, that's not physician work! I would even dare to say that others on your team would do a better job of the task, allowing you to stay in your zone of genius. Check out my latest blog article on this very concept.

Have you ever wished things were different? Well, it turns out wishing is easy. It requires zero effort. You can sit on the couch and wish that you were able to do a triathlon (or whatever your heart is desiring). Wishing is not taking action. ... So let's say there is something you really want. It's burning inside you. It wants to come into being. What's stopping you. Pleasure now. That's it. If there is something you want, it's going to take courage, determination, lots of effort and discomfort. Think about doing that triathlon. You have to get up and run, cycle, swim. Over and over again. That takes TIME, DISCOMFORT and Failure. What do you mean failure? I don't like failing. Check out The Charting Coach's latest blog post to read more!

#physician #burnout This month inside the Charting Champions Program we have guest Physician Coach Ana Blake. Ana was live with us inside the program today talking about burnout. We discussed our self-talk. The automated thoughts that just decide to show up when we are having a bad day.... I've heard these thoughts referred to as a shitty boyfriend by another amazing coach (Corrine Crabtree). Think about it. You are running 40 minutes behind and NOT because you were sitting on your butt drinking coffee and eating donuts. You walk into the consult room of your next patient and WHAM, your patient says "You never run on time any more".

Ok Charting Champions. Tell me something you are trying to get a breakthrough in! Heres Mine: The WORKLIST... (I am talking about the phone messages from Patients and requests for virtual consults) Its a circumstance An object that exists Therefore I know it must be neutral And not out to destroy me or my sanity But in the last few weeks it hasnt felt that way I have indulged in all the emotions, including; Despair Hate Anger Frustration Defeat So how do you get a breakthrough? I started with the result I wanted "worklist empty, no sweat" Then I found the emotion that I would need to complete worklist item after worklist item without getting flustered by phones not being picked up, being interrupted, having things added to it while I was working on it. For me, that emotion was "Determined" Powerful thought "This is Happening" Actions: the actions are the doing. This is where you test theories and try different approaches until you end up with the result you want. This is where you get to fail repeatedly until you get the result you want. Working down the worklist failed ... Missed the priority issues Picking through the worklist failed .... Wasting time Adding patients to appointment schedule from the worklist .... WIN! This was my fastest way to an empty worklist This was what worked for me after weeks of trying different strategies This is Happening ... Determined ..... Fail over and over All the way to successful strategy. The result? Empty inbox, no drama. And a Monday Breakthrough to share with you all. xx Sarah the Charting Coach Dont forget to get on the invitation list for Charting Champions!

Hey Charting Champions! Why is it that full and overflowing inboxes feel physically oppressive? It feels like its not possible to relax, have an evening off or even allow yourself to feel happy when there are so many unfinished tasks. And sleep .... Forget it. Theres something else you should be doing and your brain isnt going to let you forget it. Right?... Does your brain tell you that theres no possible way you are a good doctor if you can keep that inbox empty. The interesting thing is, if you shame and bully yourself, the inbox gets bigger and fuller. Less tasks get done. More buffering with cookies, wine, Facebook. More Miss Cranky Pants happens. How? When you view your inbox this way, it is painful. It causes physical response in your body. Repulsion, hate, Anger, despair. You are blocking any action of "Done" when you feel these things. Now what? Set aside a time. Just 10 minutes initially if your brain is really rebelling .... And focus on one little task. Done. One more little task. Done. Done Done Done Done Done Sit, even though you are uncomfortable, breath in, breath out, drop your shoulders and focus on that one task. One at a time. Let your brain have the reward of "Done", over and over. You got this. One at a time Let me know your favourite icebreaker when you are resisting starting. xx Sarah the Charting Coach And dont forget to head on over and get on the invitation list for Charting Champions {Coming in October } at www.ChartingCoach.ca

*Trigger warning* violence at work. Yesterday a family physician was killed by a patient while at work in his consultation room (Alberta Canada). **Be aware that the news reports are very graphic, dont read them, it is the stuff of nightmares. I am truly disgusted with the articles.** I wanted to acknowledge this tragedy today in my clinic. And I wanted to thank my staff, team and colleagues for coming to work today. And everyday.... So we ordered pizza and we had a "Safe at work today" lunch. It was a public thank you staff for screening who is in the waiting room. For their eyes and ears. Watching for coughs, colds, sneezes and the occasional pacing suspicious characters that they alert us to. Thank you for colleagues that I trust with my life. Thank you for patients for being calm and kind today (even though they didnt get pizza). None of us are OK. It didnt happen in my town but it could have. Be safe out there. Look out for eachother. Big hugs

Lets talk about GROWTH! Hey Charting Champions! 8 weeks ago we put seeds in the ground. About a week later we saw a sprout. 3 weeks later there was a low carpet of green. This week sunflowers hitting the ceiling, overwhelmed by lettuce, carrots, beets, radishes, basil, beans etc... Reflection: make a commitment (put your seed in the ground), water your belief (generate some early roots), step into imagining your new future/result (sprout), keep making decisions that move you toward your future (bigger deeper roots), then inevitability (boom growing your future like a weed!!) What seed are you wishing would bloom? Wishing is easy, no action required - but also no new result! Commiting and stepping into growing a new future - uncomfortable, difficult, requires belief, actions and patience!! xx Sarah the Charting Coach

Voting for your future self: Hey Charting Champions! I want to share a mind hack with you! You have the CURRENT YOU And the FUTURE YOU (the result you are wanting)... As you know it is so hard make the decision to do the thing (in the moment) that would help you become that FUTURE YOU! So here is the Mind Hack: Get TWO JARS and label them CURRENT YOU and FUTURE YOU Better yet .... Decorate them with pictures (like a vision board) Then each time you have to make a decision its TIME TO VOTE Put a bead into the jar of the outcome you are VOTING for! Ask yourself: will this decision keep me stuck where I am or help me become the future self that I am desiring. I tell you....its really hard to VOTE to STAY THE SAME xx Sarah the Charting Coach

Worklist tips! Hey everyone, are you struggling under the weight of virtual calls, phone messages, calling people with their results? Everything got turned upside down in Alberta as now we have unlimited phone calls per week to our patients and less in person demand... What did that equate to? Well post call (and therefore 1.5 days out of the office) I accumulated 40 phone messages, 160 results and 80 scanned documents!! Phew! So here are some of the tips from colleagues and clever Physicians from around the province Set aside time to get your calls done. Dont just try to fit them in everywhere - that results in inefficiencies in the task at hand (your charting probably) Have a stop time each day and stick to it Chart as you talk to patients - then as you hang up phone, bill and close the chart Gather email addresses and get a secure email platform to email results and advice to patients - faster than a phone call For me, I had to work in a new location. Home this week the internet was too slow, the pause the and freezing was making the list take way longer. The clinic was too noisy. I was too distracted there. This required some innovation: earbuds with microphone, alternative office area. Two screens, so I can be checking things off while I wait for someone to pick up the phone. I would love to here your strategies! xx Sarah the Charting Coach www.ChartingCoach.ca

I created a blissful day at work today. A delightfully quiet room in our hospital with superfast internet. I worked undisturbed all day. ... Background: I have misophonia, so working at the clinic doing a virtual day can be noise torture! Today I made all my phone consultations. Not one interruption. No one else tapping on a keyboard or mouse or chatting outside my office or coming in to ask me something or dropping more papers off. Just work work work. What do you do to improve your efficiency? xx Sarah the Charting Coach www.ChartingCoach.ca

How do you determine your priorities What are you doing that no longer needs to be done Are you just getting things done... Or doing important things? Take from your master to do list And only put on todays list the important things (Wise advice from Brenda Robinson - thanks ACFP!) xx Sarah the Charting Coach

Are you playing the same tune every day? Are you listening to others tunes and comparing yourself to them? Are you designing your day Or mashing the keys hoping for a beautiful sound... Have you learned the tools and practiced until you get the result you are looking for The tools to have an efficient workday are simple and (in my opinion) easier than learning to play the piano I would be delighted to show you how Have a great week everyone xx Sarah the Charting Coach

Ever noticed that you dont take action from the place of overthinking. Needing to know the exact and most perfect way to get to your goal fastest, BEFORE you start The Result - You dont even start... You spin around and around Suffocating in trying to get it perfect In reality: The path to your destination is messy You succeed on a pile of failures Lots of wrong turns Plenty of obstacles That werent even visible when you started I had a perfect day Solved for every obstacle Then a whole lot of obstacles got thrown on my path The good news I know I can solve for every obstacle Ive done it before I know what it takes Stepping forward and tackling each obstacle Until the result is inevitable What are you overthinking? xx Sarah the Charting Coach www.ChartingCoach.ca

Want to intentionally create a new result in your life. Its going require stepping out of familiar and comfortable. Making a plan... Commiting to the plan Doing the plan even when its uncomfortable Revising the plan when its not creating the exact result you want Following new plan Rinse and repeat Its requires you to have your own back Trusting your decisions Moving forward Failing Revising the plan Following the new plan Until you create your new result The journey is as important as the arrival The growth and change to create the result is life altering How strong is your why? Why do you want it more than what you have now?

Today I am committed to "Focused" Focused attention to detail Focused on my objectives When I find myself in a lull...

From the Heart. Ana Blake you are making a difference

Want to set a New Goal or create a New Future Its going to hurt Its uncomfortable Its hard work It Sucks... But, the more you can sit in the discomfort And Fail and Fail until you get it right The faster you get what you want Failing is not Quitting Failing is getting it wrong until you are getting it right It requires Self confidence Self confidence is choosing to let yourself suck at it And NOT beating yourself up You are only going to achieve this if you choose to love yourself, even when you fail Be Brave Brave enough to suck Then go ahead and set an amazing challenge xx Sarah the Charting Coach www.ChartingCoach.ca

you are Rock Stars in my eyes

"Become the person you need" wise words from fellow Physician Coach Katrina Ubell I needed a Charting Coach. Desperately. I had to go out and learn it for myself. There wasnt a Charting Coach. Anywhere.... I got life coaching and applied it daily until I solved it. My paperwork pain. Now I do that for fellow Family Physicians. I became the Charting Coach The other valuable lesson? "Be the product of your product" Just like houses get dusty and need constant dusting. Sometimes they need a deep clean. Our minds and thoughts are the same. I practice efficiency and productivity daily And what do I make it mean if my inbox isnt empty I make it mean I have work to do I find out why I do the work The work I take my students through Its powerful and its life-changing I havent quit Nothing has gone wrong I just need to tidy up my thoughts, feelings and actions to create the result I know that I can achieve. Who do you need to become? xx Sarah, the Charting Coach www.ChartingCoach.ca

Those mornings when its all going wrong. This morning zoom wasnt working. I could get on, my Coaching client could get in but it wouldnt connect us. This photo - this was a Monday morning a few years back, hour before work, minus 30 outside and lambing.... Obstacles and Circumstances This is the Math of your day Drama is optional This morning I had four solutions ready to go. *Messenger video call *Doxy.me *Medeo *Phone appointment Did I consider canceling the call Nope, not ever This is not about me and my drama This is about serving at the highest level Monday morning One wet cold lamb He got more hairdryer time than I did. Did I want to have a tantrum Complain about having lambs in winter Worry about being late Probably But that little guy did great and years of on call mean I can be showered and on my way to work in minutes. Its not going to plan Thats just an obstacle Whats the easiest solution Let your brain chew on the answer xx Sarah, the Charting Coach www.chartingcoach.ca

Lets talk Backlog Reduction! Who thinks that they should have an empty inbox by now? You know - 6 weeks of pandemic and near empty clinic bookings. Are you choosing to beat yourself up that you are not all caught up yet?... Think about this. How are you feeling when you are busy getting work done. You know, in the ZONE? You are feeling fast, determined, decisive. What thoughts create that feeling for you? I want to bet its not "Ive got so much to do" "Its never ever going to end" "I dont want to" These thoughts create INACTION Do how do you create action? Make a decision that you are going to work on your backlog and be specific: "From 0800-0900 on Friday I am going to do ....." Then at 0800 on Friday be prepared for toddler brain to turn up and throw a tantrum "I need more coffee,I dont know how, where should I start first, but Im comfortable here on the couch in my slippers" Make a decision that you are going to show and and get to work No Matter What! Be uncomfortable and Do It Anyway And then get to be so proud of yourself at 0900 when those tasks are DONE!! Get to it! xx Sarah, the Charting Coach
