About SMART Time Management for Doctors

You work in a profession where, despite your best efforts to plan your working week, your daily activities are often dictated by circumstance rather than strategy. You are sick of the constant juggle and live with an ever-present undercurrent of stress. You simply don’t have enough time. And time for a quality life outside work? Forget it!

You know that something needs to change so that you can continue to be a great doctor and live a more integrated work/life. Imagine if you could gain control over you time.

Bestselling author Kate Christie helps you invest your time to find your lost time – because your time management challenges are unique.

 

SMART Time Management for Doctors provides
a proven 5-Step Process which ensures you:

  • Identify the key time management habits that are challenging you and that you need to focus on.
  • Map 3 days in detail so you know where you are spending your time, how often and who interrupts you, where you lose focus and where you have most energy, giving you absolute clarity over where you lose time.
  • Identify exactly what you are going to Delegate and Reject to free up hours of your time.
  • Categorise your time into your Musts; Wants; Delegates and Rejects and cost your time – allowing you to access the financial, opportunity, emotional and physical costs of how you spend your time.
  • Establish an Action Plan to make sure you get those time gains back.
  • Provides dozens of additional practical strategies specifically targeted at the medical profession which you can implement for immediate time gains.

Testimonials for SMART Time Management for Doctors

Juggling the demands of being a doctor and mother of four, I thought that constant exhaustion and guilt were inevitable. Kate Christie’s 5 SMART Steps guided me through the process of achieving real and sustainable change. I improved my productivity while reclaiming much needed family and personal time. There are a myriad of general time management books but Smart Time Management for Doctors identifies and helps with issues specific to medical practitioners. Kate’s description of my work and family life was uncannily accurate – I kept wondering if she had a webcam set up! I cannot recommend this book highly enough!

Kate Christie makes time management simple and logical. Her framework – The 5 SMART Steps is easy to understand and apply and can readily be transferred to a shift working timetable. The framework is invaluable when it comes to optimising examination preparation, particularly when juggling study with full time work. As incredibly busy doctors often working in highly stressful environments, having smart strategies to find ‘Me Time’ or simply just ‘time out’ is key for maintaining a healthy and mindful work/life balance. I recommend SMART Time Management for Doctors to busy medical practitioners everywhere.
