1- 80% work dilemma update.You know those 80% dilemmas I’ve been writing about? I have recently decided, after careful analysis of the potential scenarios, to try 90%. I had mentioned that I may be taking on some more leadership/nonclinical responsibilities (residency related), and it looks like this will be coming…
I haven’t read Cal Newport’s new book yet, but I am definitely going to. I haven’t decided whether I will order a print copy of read on Kindle. The latter seems ironic, but I am getting more reading done on screens lately. Probably because…
