ODR 001 – Getting Shit Done (GTD) [Part 1/x]

So my friend Michelle Lin was kind enough to solicit a “How I Work Smarter” piece on her excellent ALIEM blog. One of the things I mentioned in that piece was a book called Getting Things Done. I’ve since gotten a bunch of questions and comments about the book. I’d like to take a brief diversion from the main topic of EMCrit and discuss a bit about the book and productivity for docs and resuscitationists. GTD on ODR The BooksGetting Things Done by David Allen (A new edition, the first in years will be out in 3-4 months)The Organized Mind The PhilosophyA clear mind eliminates stress and allows creativity, so… Capture all the things that need to get done into a logical and trusted system outside of your head and off your mind, and… Discipline yourself to make decisions about all the inputs you let into your life, so that you will always have a plan for next actions that you can implement or renegotiate at any moment (altered from Mindzone Wiki) Problems with the BookMindset of the AuthorBased on an erstwhile paper-based worldCan be read as Dogma The Steps of GTDCollect/Process/Organize/Review/Do 1.

ODR 004 – Email is Not the Problem, You Are! [Email Part 1/X]

The ODR PodcastOn Deeper Reflection is a podcast on making our lives as happy and productive as possible! Today’s episode deals with the bugbear of many in medicine–email. Part II is now Up as Well 1. Understand the TechnologyEmail is an amazing Technology!Async-MailSync-Phone, Telegraph, Text, Chatapps,Email-Asynchronous with instant delivery–but this should not mean instant viewingPhilosophy is wrong, not tacticsBad SolutionsAn article on just keeping emails in inbox misses the entire point. There are only two acceptable solutions and ignoring email is definitely one of them, but inbox zero is the better version of that.Inbox ZeroArrival Rate vs. Departure RateEvery inbox item costs you decision dollarsWe don’t want to make decisionsToo Much Email-No!!!!! Too Much StuffI Just Check Once Per DayVs. I set aside time to do Deep WorkAnalogous to I took Facebook off my phone… 2. Email Should Spark JoyUsed to have combined work and homeNever, ever do this!!!! Separate Work and EmailWork Check Once, while at work or every day depending on your jobHorrible human being would email on Friday afternoon with something horrible 3. Don’t treat an async tech as syncDon’t expect or encourage real-time useIt is fine to reply right away, but dissuade the belief that you will consistentlyPacing 4. Your Email Inbox cannot be your ToDo system5. Just 1 TouchDoItSystemItDelegateItSaveItUnsubIt-goes back to brings joy, true joy–not dopamine hitFilterItTrashit (actually archive)SpamItMaybe-Bringit Back Services 6. Archive, Don’t Delete7. Search, Don’t File8. Inbox Elimination to Keep You HonestToo Many InboxesGmail Mailboxes 9. Cut out Back & Forth Steps10. For Some Use cases, Are Slack/Basecamp/Teams the Solution?Books to ReadYou need to prune down to what is important!!!Life Changing! We’ll do a book

ODR 007 – Liberterian Free Will, Blame and Shame

This Article is a Must Read if you Found this Episode on Free Will InterestingThe Lucretian Swerve AttributionsWhile 1% of this episode may be independent thinking, the rest was surely based on influences too countless to cite. Some that clearly remain foremost as inspiration are the article above, Dan Dennett’s work, Sam Harris’ book, the book, Four Views on Free Will, and all by poor undergrad professors that had to put up with the utter annoyance of my stubbornness. One of the Most Critical Articles to Read on the TopicChun SS et al. Unconscious determinants of free decisions in the human brain. Nat Neurosci. 2008 May;11(5):543-5.
