Need Help? – If You’re a Parent and a Busy Professional…

Hey 🙂

I’m looking for 3 super-busy professionals to participate in a new program I’ve created.

It’s for the parent who wants to have it all – happy thriving relationships, kids, career.

All while satisfying your own needs and fulfilling your purpose in life.

It can be truly challenging sometimes to keep it all in balance, and I’ve mastered the tools that took my children and I to a 10x level in our relationship and every aspect of our family life.

If you’d like to make your family whole and raise (influence) wonderful children, let’s talk!

Just email me at drtoriassistant@gmail.com and we’ll take it from there 🙂

Talk soon,

Dr. Tori

11 Ways To Eliminate Distractions – Productivity

I did not truly grasp the impact of distractions on our work, and our lives in general, until I began working closely with some of the premier names in Human Factors in Healthcare.

A distraction is one thing. It happens to the best of us… especially these days.

But the act of getting back on task is where the real trouble lies. There is a lag time that occurs after every interruption, an amount of time and energy we must spend to get back on task.

Think about this for a second. It’s the interruption. Not whether or not you actually tended to it.

If someone knocks on your office door and asks, “Do you have a minute?” That is the interruption… Just the act of you hearing that question is the interruption – not whether or not you gave them “a minute”.

And if you did give them that minute, the lag time on getting back to task means that you spent waaay more than a minute.

Well, there’s a time to be available for those sort of things, and there are (more) times not to be. So, how does one handle these distractions?

Simple… ELIMINATE them.Productivity - 11 Ways To Eliminate Distractions

Here’s a great way – check out this 16-page free PDF (I recorded it for a friend, and decided to turn it into an audio program with an accompanying PDF). Well, it’s yours. Let me know what you think.

You can get it here: http://ProductivityPearls.com/distractions

Incidentally, when I started implementing #2 in this list of 11, it stopped everyone in their tracks.

Distraction eliminated.

Others in the office started doing something similar the moment they saw its power.

Awesome Productivity Tips

“Do you even sleep at night?!”

Since I am a physician, married to a physician, homeschool our 6 kids, work a full-time(+) job, run several businesses, and still feel very fulfilled socially, emotionally and spiritually…

Others see this and ask for advice – on productivity, organization, delegation, optimization, prioritization, etc.

Rather than give one-off advice to each individual who asks, I’ve recorded that advice and offer it free at http://ProductivityPearls.com

Check it out and let me know what you think.

What Gets Me Up In The Morning & How It Will Serve You

Why do I focus so much on influence and persuasion in health? The public speaking… the workshops… the online courses… the simulation training… Why?

Here’s my “why”:

#MedEd Tips for Using Google Glass

We all know that there have been several disruptive changes to education in recent years… Well, you’ve seen nothing yet.

Heads up displays like Google Glass are going to reshape that disruption curve into a hockey stick. Now, I am not so sure that society is ready for heads up displays to be used in public. The privacy concerns and the potential negative consequences are huge. But, so too, is the potential awesomeness.

I suspect this technology will bring the best out of the best people, and the worst out of the worst people (and institutions)… but we’ll see. Whether or not it’s a good thing, it’s coming. So, I’m preparing for that future. And (hopefully) you’ll include me among those “best of people” for it.

If you’re in your medical training (med school, internship, residency, etc), nursing training or if you are an instructor, here are a couple tips for using Glass in health professional education:

Also (if you’re early in your training – med school or internship) check out http://Internship-Tips.com to see how my career completely turned around, from burning out to massive success and ultimately to a dream career.

By the way… you will notice that RookieDoc videos are no longer being posted under the RookieDoc YouTube channel. Instead, I am posting through the +EdTori channel now. This allows me to integrate YouTube, Google+ and Google Glass better (to bring you more value in more ways). Follow me on Google+ at +EdTori and on Twitter @DrEdTori

Improve Your Game In 15 Minutes Or Less With Biomimicry

My basketball game dramatically improved after I found a shoe that reminded me of a gecko’s foot pad.

It’s called biomimicry… when engineers, inventors, manufacturers, etc borrow an idea from nature and apply it to their industry. In this case, a knowledge of biomimicry informed my purchase of basketball shoes. http://DrTori.com/greatgrip

Just to be clear, it is possible that if you click through the link I mention in the video, I could earn a small commission if you purchase something. But you don’t have to use my link at all. You can go right to Amazon yourself or right to a local sporting goods store. I still highly recommend Adidas Mad Handle… it’s awesome. Get it here: http://drtori.com/greatgrip
