[PMM] #32 - Having a good evening routine

Hi Don here. Welcome to the Menagerie management minute. We talked the other day about a morning routine. I want to talk a little bit about a evening routine. Now this is I'm taking this from when we had little kids, this is what we talked about, you know, you do your bathroom and you put your pajamas on and we actually still have this routine with our kids.

There are currently six and eight when I'm recording this but what is a good evening routine kind of in the in the office and then in life in general there's a couple of good books once called Atomic habits. It's where it kind of talks about setting up these, these routines in our life. For, for me, in the office, one of the habits that really works.

Well for me, is when I finish, I leave, I know it sounds funny but we do is we tend to get distracted with many other things such as email, kind of finishing up some last things but when I'm done seeing my patients I find it's much easier for me to go home otherwise I get distracted and stick around 30 minutes, 40 minutes maybe even an hour laughter working on things side projects. Little All things. So what I find that works better is doing it during the day

during it in between patients. And so, that's one of the benefits of having a scribe that's helping you is developing your own routine, another routine. I like at the end of the day is this thing right here? This is my little patient list that I print out everything and I've talked about this before, but I like to review kind of what's worked and right. All right, any questions down

here? I write any kind of inspiration for Podiatry management minute, I talk about, like what I've done in terms of patients, in terms of shock wave, or a me or anything. Other types of treatments and I think reviewing that and I and and tracking. So tracking is a good thing for us. So tracking how many of what you want to track and what you want

to do more. If you want to do more Orthotics, if you want to do more Shockwave, if you want to do more surgery, whatever you want to do, more of kind of keep track of that, that's going to keep it front of mine. So I would say it's good to have your own evening or bedtime routine. I also have a routine at home which is includes like a positive Focus kind of focusing on what went well during the day. And then I kind of think of well what could I have done?

Differently if I could do the day or so there's a couple of good kind of thinking processes. So that's the idea of the morning routine. Let me know what your thoughts are. There's a little link underneath this video. Tell me what your tips are and please subscribe and like this page and I'll get more information out for you, okay? Thanks.
