Raise your hand if efficiency has always been one of your favourite words. If it's up, this one is for you.

Efficiency is what got you here. It's why you got into medical school, matched into residency and built a practice that works, mostly. But there's a version of you that has out-efficiencied yourself, and you might already be living in it.

Here's the problem with efficiency: it doesn't shrink your workload, it multiplies it.

Being efficient doesn't mean less to do. It means you keep saying yes, because you can do it well, and it feels easier and faster to just do it yourself. But every yes becomes one more thing you're now doing in less time than the last.

Picture this: it's 3am and you're running through the charting that's still left to finishs, the supply order still waiting on you, the paperwork that's still yours to finish. That's not an efficiency problem. That's a sprint you've been running since residency, and a marathon (aka your career) doesn't work that way.

"The goal isn't just to be more efficient. The goal is to figure out what you actually need to do."

What you stop doing matters more than how fast you do it.

Once efficiency stops being the goal, the question changes. Not "how can I do this faster", but "does this need me at all". That single question, deciding what doesn't need your expertise, can be worth 8+ hours back a week.

When you're doing what actually needs you to do it, your efficiency superpower gets to work on what needs it.

So, what is your efficiency actually costing you?

Episode Takeaways
The goalpost shouldn't be how efficient you can be, it's doing what actually needs your expertise.
  1. Efficiency has a ceiling. Doing everything faster still means YOU are doing everything.
  2. The question that changes the game: not "how do I be more efficient," but "does this need me at all."
  3. Figuring out what you actually needs you to do it, and what doesn't is where you get time back. Possibly upwards of 8+ hours/week.
