018: Lessons From a Workaholic: How to Do Less and Get More Done

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you love what you do, it’s easy to become a workaholic. Between creating resources for patients, teaching clinicians how to grow their practices and provide better care for their patients, and keeping my practice running smoothly, it’s easy for a 40-hour week to turn into a 55+ hour week, leaving little time to take care of myself. And that’s definitely not practicing what I preach.  </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">And when you look at the statistics, the motivation to get a handle on our over-burdened schedules is even more compelling. It’s a fact that 4 out of 10 Americans work over 50 hours a week and as a result, have a 33% increased risk of stroke and a 13% increase in coronary artery disease – just to name a few. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So if your work-life balance could use a tune-up, today’s episode is for you. I want to help you rethink what brings value to your life, reduce the number of hours you work, and learn how to achieve more by doing less.</span></p> <p><strong>Gold Nuggets</strong></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;">How working long hours is doing real damage to our physical and mental health.</li> <li style="font-weight: 400;">Why multitasking hurts your performance and can result in missing important details.</li> <li style="font-weight: 400;">Why clinicians should take breaks throughout the day.</li> <li style="font-weight: 400;">How to set hard limits and stop working at established cutoff times.</li> <li style="font-weight: 400;">Five things you can do right now to get off the working-too-hard treadmill.</li> </ul> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><span style= "font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Get Today's Show Notes</strong></span></span></p> <p>To get access to today's show notes, including a transcript & links to all the resources mentioned, visit <a href= "https://www.rondanelson.com/18" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">RondaNelson.com/18</a> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><span style= "font-size: 14pt;">
