Course Description: Time efficiency and productivity optimization are critical skills for achieving success regardless of training level or practice type. This applied course will be an interactive session in which attendees will identify prioritized goals, learn how and when to say yes/no, apply email organization strategies, employ strategies to optimize electronic health record use, and create daily and weekly planning sessions for immediate application into daily life. Attendees will be provided a pre-reading list generated by Faculty to facilitate a flipped classroom teaching approach and are encouraged to bring their laptop and a bullet journal to create a personalized time efficiency system. This system will be created during small groups facilitated by mentorship from course faculty and peers, the result being a custom-made time management program that can be immediately implemented following the session. We will also discuss prioritization of self-care and incorporating time for passion projects or desired activities.
