1 00:00:01,900 --> 00:00:04,900 Hey guys, welcome to Podiatry, practice Mastery down belt on 2 00:00:04,908 --> 00:00:08,300 here. What I'd like to go over today 3 00:00:08,500 --> 00:00:14,700 is my my hacks for efficiency. You see recently, I was 4 00:00:14,700 --> 00:00:20,000 interviewed by a podcast called Asian efficiency, it's it's this 5 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,000 gentleman. He talks about efficiency hacks 6 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:26,400 and he says, a lot of people on his podcast, are our doctors and 7 00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:28,300 because they want to learn to be more efficient, this is 8 00:00:28,300 --> 00:00:30,600 something I've talked about a little bit in the past, but I I 9 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:33,800 want to go do a little bit deeper of a dive on a few 10 00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:35,400 aspects that that might be beneficial. 11 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:38,700 But before I do, I had a person asked me today. 12 00:00:38,900 --> 00:00:40,900 They were using my patient presentations. 13 00:00:40,900 --> 00:00:45,000 So remember if you go to either patient presentations.com, or go 14 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:49,300 to Podiatry, practice Mastery, you can get my my patient 15 00:00:49,300 --> 00:00:51,500 presentations tool. This is the same tool I use 16 00:00:51,500 --> 00:00:55,700 every single day in my office. It is a link tree. 17 00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:01,800 That's linked to Google slides in Full screen format. 18 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,599 That's basically what it is. Took a little bit of time to do 19 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,400 and he said this gentleman said, you know, II like it, but I'd 20 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,700 like to kind of modify it. So, I've got to make that easy 21 00:01:09,700 --> 00:01:13,300 for anyone that wants to modify it you can't use like mine. 22 00:01:13,900 --> 00:01:16,600 What you can do is, you can go to under coaching. 23 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:20,000 There is the private room at practice Mastery Academy and 24 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,300 then you just sign up for a month and you can get access to 25 00:01:22,300 --> 00:01:25,200 all my patient presentations, make them your own, edit them, 26 00:01:25,500 --> 00:01:28,200 and then, you can kind of make your own linked real. 27 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,400 Kind of explain a little bit about that when I talk about it. 28 00:01:30,500 --> 00:01:32,000 Isshin see things in this podcast. 29 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,500 That's what I would recommend. I try to keep pretty reasonable, 30 00:01:34,500 --> 00:01:36,500 it's a monthly thing so you can use it as long as you need it. 31 00:01:36,500 --> 00:01:37,600 As long as you find it beneficial. 32 00:01:37,900 --> 00:01:41,300 I'd love to stick around a long time, but as long as I'm giving 33 00:01:41,300 --> 00:01:42,800 you a value, that's all I want you to stick around. 34 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:46,900 But let's let's get into this efficiency, efficiency, doctor 35 00:01:46,900 --> 00:01:50,300 efficiency. I was talking to my wife 36 00:01:50,300 --> 00:01:52,700 recently and she said, you know, Dad, I think you might have come 37 00:01:52,700 --> 00:01:56,800 upon you or your unique ability, that's what we call it in 38 00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,600 strategic coach. This thing I've been going to 39 00:01:58,900 --> 00:02:02,600 for a while, you see, I've been Interested in efficiency for a 40 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:06,000 long time. And I'm not exactly sure why. 41 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:10,000 But like, some of the people I like to listen to our like Airy 42 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:16,600 Meisner and he talks about kind of being efficient, and a lot 43 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,000 of, a lot of other books that talk about efficiency. 44 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:24,300 So let's talk about some of the efficiencies, that that seem to 45 00:02:24,300 --> 00:02:26,700 be working well and what you might want to consider. 46 00:02:26,700 --> 00:02:29,300 And I'd also like to know what some of the your efficiencies 47 00:02:29,300 --> 00:02:31,600 are in your Life and in your practice. 48 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,300 Okay, so first of all, I'm going to talk about a morning routine 49 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,900 that I have. Then I'll talk about some of the 50 00:02:37,900 --> 00:02:41,600 efficiencies that I use in my personal life. 51 00:02:41,900 --> 00:02:44,000 Then I'll talk about some efficiencies in the practice and 52 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,800 then I'll kind of talk about in evening routine, which are all 53 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,500 efficiencies. So, all this goes back to, I 54 00:02:50,500 --> 00:02:53,000 remember when I was really young, I like to learn about 55 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,400 mnemonics. So mnemonics are like memory 56 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,500 techniques to make it more efficient to memorize. 57 00:02:57,500 --> 00:03:01,400 And then from there, I went to different Efficiency techniques 58 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,900 on how like not to spend money. I remember reading all these 59 00:03:03,900 --> 00:03:07,000 books on the tightwad Gazette and how not to spend money and 60 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,100 how to be the most efficient person, then it got into 61 00:03:10,100 --> 00:03:13,600 studying techniques and how to study the most efficiently and I 62 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,400 always joke with people. I think the main reason, I've 63 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:21,200 enjoyed Podiatry school was not so much that content, what is it 64 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,200 was learning and being able to teach others how to study. 65 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,000 I like learning how to study, it kind of got bored of the topic, 66 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,600 but I like to learn and to be more efficient and do it as 67 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:30,800 efficient as possible. Isabel. 68 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,800 So first of all the morning routine that works well for me. 69 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,100 So what is this? This idea of the morning 70 00:03:37,100 --> 00:03:38,200 routine. There's there's a lot of 71 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,000 different books, one's called The Miracle morning. 72 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,000 There's a book called The Seven Habits of Highly Effective 73 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:45,700 People. A lot of books talk about having 74 00:03:45,700 --> 00:03:48,500 our morning as the most important part of the day. 75 00:03:48,500 --> 00:03:52,600 And I remember I lived for much of my life in the morning, 76 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,100 wasn't the most important part of my day. 77 00:03:54,100 --> 00:03:57,500 So what it was that that was like in residency where I had to 78 00:03:57,500 --> 00:03:59,800 be let's say at the hospital at 7 a.m. and I used to get up at 79 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,800 like 6:45 Because I live five minutes away and then it was 80 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,300 basically from there I was just like a, it was just a splint, a 81 00:04:05,300 --> 00:04:09,200 Sprint throughout the day to do everything that I had to do and 82 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,900 I didn't really have any time and I was always kind of 83 00:04:12,900 --> 00:04:14,900 stressed. I was I was kind of on edge. 84 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,300 I was always kind of going going going. 85 00:04:18,899 --> 00:04:23,800 And from there then I started to read some other some other 86 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,200 people and watch some videos. There's this guy named Wim Hof 87 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,400 and he kind of talks about this with off breathing technique. 88 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,300 He also talks about Cold exposure or cold showers. 89 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:40,300 So my current morning routine. Okay, that works for me is two 90 00:04:40,300 --> 00:04:43,600 days a week. I do a boot camp. 91 00:04:43,700 --> 00:04:46,900 So if you don't know what a boot camp is, it's basically where 92 00:04:46,900 --> 00:04:49,800 you work out harder than you could ever work on your own. 93 00:04:50,300 --> 00:04:52,900 And you almost kind of feel like you want to barf at the end. 94 00:04:52,900 --> 00:04:55,700 That's what a that's would really big boot camp is, so I do 95 00:04:55,700 --> 00:04:58,700 that mostly. It's because it's the most 96 00:04:58,700 --> 00:05:00,300 efficient way that I found to work out. 97 00:05:00,500 --> 00:05:05,300 I find that when I work out with a group of people and usually 98 00:05:05,300 --> 00:05:07,700 there's like 15 to 20 stations and we stay there. 99 00:05:07,700 --> 00:05:09,700 So many times, it might be at the bottom might be something 100 00:05:09,700 --> 00:05:12,100 else, but I work out really, really hard, first of all. 101 00:05:12,100 --> 00:05:14,200 Because someone else tells me what to do and I always do 102 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,800 better when someone tells me what to do versus going to the 103 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,100 gym and you're just not sure what to do. 104 00:05:18,700 --> 00:05:21,300 Second thing is you're working, really intense and there's other 105 00:05:21,300 --> 00:05:22,900 people there so you feel a little bit of Shame. 106 00:05:22,900 --> 00:05:25,200 And then the third thing is exactly what happened. 107 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:30,800 This morning that I was actually got up a little bit late, I Why 108 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:36,700 my alarm was set for 5:15 and I slept, I slept in, I must, I 109 00:05:36,700 --> 00:05:39,800 don't know, stop the alarm and slept little bit more, but I 110 00:05:39,808 --> 00:05:42,900 arrived about 10 minutes late and they were already about four 111 00:05:42,900 --> 00:05:45,700 stations in, you may ask why I went with the reason I went is 112 00:05:45,700 --> 00:05:47,500 because if I don't go, they charged me $30. 113 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:52,800 So they already charged me. It's about $125 a month. 114 00:05:52,900 --> 00:05:55,700 That's how much I pay per month. And you, for some of you might 115 00:05:55,700 --> 00:05:57,600 say, that's a lot. For some of you may say that's a 116 00:05:57,608 --> 00:06:02,300 little, but I have figured out What's the most efficient way 117 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,700 for working out for me? Anyway, are these two workouts? 118 00:06:05,700 --> 00:06:08,000 I used to do three workouts but there wasn't enough recovery 119 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:09,800 time. And frankly, I do not like to 120 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,900 work out but I like the benefits of working out. 121 00:06:12,900 --> 00:06:14,400 So I do that Mondays and Fridays. 122 00:06:14,500 --> 00:06:17,900 If I don't go, they charge me and I pay by the month and you 123 00:06:17,900 --> 00:06:19,700 have to schedule a week in advance and all these other 124 00:06:19,700 --> 00:06:21,700 things. So for my health that's that's 125 00:06:21,700 --> 00:06:25,500 what I do Monday and Friday for workouts then we'll get into 126 00:06:25,500 --> 00:06:27,800 like what's the next step? So my name is Friday, then 127 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,300 there's another good book called atomic. 128 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,000 Abbott's or talks about habit, stacking. 129 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,600 So I have a jacuzzi and it came with the house that I bought, 130 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,100 right? I didn't put in a to kuzey in 131 00:06:37,100 --> 00:06:39,000 but and I was upset that I wasn't using it. 132 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,800 So then, when I started to do is I stacked my workouts into using 133 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,700 the jacuzzi. So, you know, 365 days a year or 134 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:49,400 anyway, hath, are two days a week, Mondays and Fridays. 135 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,900 That's when I go, and after that, then I go into my jacuzzi. 136 00:06:52,300 --> 00:06:56,500 So I can make sure I use it and then, then starts the rest of 137 00:06:56,500 --> 00:06:57,800 the routine that happens the other day. 138 00:06:57,800 --> 00:06:59,800 So actually, the actually, the Mondays and Fridays, there's 139 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,700 another part of Teen, which is, I do Bulletproof Coffee, which 140 00:07:02,700 --> 00:07:08,200 is two cups of coffee, MCT oil, which is like coconut oil 141 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:12,200 without the smell and then two tablespoons of unsalted butter. 142 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,500 I do salted butter and then I do cinnamon in it. 143 00:07:15,500 --> 00:07:16,500 So I do that Mondays and Fridays. 144 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,100 You have to stay close to the bathroom when you drink that. 145 00:07:19,300 --> 00:07:20,600 But I do that Mondays and Fridays. 146 00:07:21,300 --> 00:07:23,300 And then what did I do the other day as well? 147 00:07:23,300 --> 00:07:26,400 The other days I have my my routine. 148 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:30,200 It's a reading routine that I that I use, I usually read. 149 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,400 I'm reading through the Bible every single year or at least 150 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,400 takes me a little bit longer. So I have this little checklist 151 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:37,100 of the books that I read. So I read that first. 152 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,900 There's a devotional time of prayer time and then I read an 153 00:07:40,900 --> 00:07:45,000 uplifting book and the one I'm reading right now is your future 154 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,800 self. And then so I read a book and 155 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,600 that's I read, 10 pages only, are we ten pages of a kind of 156 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,100 inspirational book? And the way I do that is I just 157 00:07:53,100 --> 00:07:55,700 flip through five pages because it's double sided and I put a 158 00:07:55,700 --> 00:07:58,600 little bookmark so I know how much to read and then I journal. 159 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:03,300 And and I think This this journal is an important aspect 160 00:08:03,500 --> 00:08:05,800 in the morning. What I Journal are the three 161 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,200 things I'm grateful for. And I have this list of things 162 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,700 like topics, like my family, different things that I have 163 00:08:11,700 --> 00:08:16,900 achievements, things like that, then I'm grateful for and then I 164 00:08:16,900 --> 00:08:19,400 write out the three things, actually the night before I 165 00:08:19,407 --> 00:08:21,700 write up the three things that I want to do and then I'll just 166 00:08:21,700 --> 00:08:24,100 Journal about my big picture goals. 167 00:08:24,100 --> 00:08:27,700 In my big picture goals are usually I have three main 168 00:08:27,700 --> 00:08:30,300 focuses. Each each quarter each three 169 00:08:30,500 --> 00:08:32,900 Months. And so my main three right now 170 00:08:32,900 --> 00:08:37,100 are my family, my church and work, okay, those are the big 171 00:08:37,100 --> 00:08:39,000 three and then within there's there's other goals so I can 172 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,500 stay focused and I kind of write about those for a little bit. 173 00:08:41,500 --> 00:08:43,799 Usually I'm pretty rushed in the morning, so I do that pretty 174 00:08:43,799 --> 00:08:46,500 quick. They that whole routine, if I'm 175 00:08:46,500 --> 00:08:49,200 not working out, can take me about 20 minutes to do that. 176 00:08:50,700 --> 00:08:53,400 Maybe 25 minutes. Then I'm using making a coffee 177 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,500 at that time and then that's all before my family wakes up. 178 00:08:56,500 --> 00:09:00,300 So my it's usually I'm usually done with that by about 7:15. 179 00:09:00,500 --> 00:09:04,400 Our 7:30, and that's when I leave for the office. 180 00:09:05,100 --> 00:09:07,100 Then on my, on my way to the office. 181 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:13,400 I usually either listen to an audible book or I record a 182 00:09:13,408 --> 00:09:16,200 podcast. So I am recording one in the car 183 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:17,200 right now. So there's a little bit of 184 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,200 background noise, but it's the only time that I have to do it 185 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,200 and then when I make longer trips that I can do longer idea 186 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,300 to podcast like the one I'm doing today can be a little bit 187 00:09:25,300 --> 00:09:27,600 longer but usually going to work it's about a 20-minute drive. 188 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,400 So I might try to bust out a couple of ideas For the four, 189 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:33,700 different ideas that are in my mind, things I'm working 190 00:09:33,700 --> 00:09:36,600 through, and then I'll share that with everyone within 191 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:40,300 Podiatry, practice Mastery. So, that is my my morning 192 00:09:40,300 --> 00:09:42,600 routine at this time, I've tried different things. 193 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,000 I used to try some whim Hoff breathing, which is deep 194 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,800 breathing for 10 minutes and you can put it on YouTube. 195 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,300 And if you look up with cough and there's a breathing routine, 196 00:09:50,300 --> 00:09:53,900 I'd like that. But I didn't find that all that 197 00:09:53,900 --> 00:09:55,000 all that, beneficial. So things. 198 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:56,600 I don't want to continue the rest of my life. 199 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,200 I don't do. I try to do these things and I'm 200 00:09:58,208 --> 00:09:59,200 going to continue the rest of my life. 201 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,400 So that's, that's an idea. The morning routine. 202 00:10:02,700 --> 00:10:05,600 I have quite a few patients are kind of curious about my my 203 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,500 eating routine. I kind of have a unique eating 204 00:10:08,500 --> 00:10:13,100 routine, because I've read a lot of different books on this such 205 00:10:13,100 --> 00:10:17,400 as the, the Obesity code, the complete guide to fasting. 206 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,800 There's an other others that talk about like the Quest for 207 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,300 food and different things. So, I've looked at different 208 00:10:25,300 --> 00:10:30,000 types of eating Styles, and I've tried different things, my 209 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,800 partner. In the office Neil he has tried 210 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:36,100 like vegan, a lot of different things and we tend to be a 211 00:10:36,100 --> 00:10:40,600 little bit more on the key do side so we do mostly vegetables 212 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:45,500 and meat when I'm eating I do some carbs I'm not totally carb 213 00:10:46,100 --> 00:10:49,800 you know against carbs but I just eat whatever whatever I my 214 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:51,800 wife makes but the biggest key for me. 215 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,400 Has been doing this intermittent fasting. 216 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,000 So if you haven't heard of that, it's something I recommend to my 217 00:10:58,000 --> 00:10:59,400 patients. And something I personally been 218 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,100 doing for about three years and I like to keep things really, 219 00:11:02,100 --> 00:11:04,500 really simple. And I like to do things that I'm 220 00:11:04,508 --> 00:11:09,800 going to do the rest of my life. And so, what I do right now is I 221 00:11:09,900 --> 00:11:12,500 eat one meal a day Monday through Friday. 222 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,500 You know, it might be like a OMG, that's why they call it one 223 00:11:16,500 --> 00:11:19,100 meal. Oh, mad, one meal a day, but 224 00:11:19,100 --> 00:11:20,600 it's usually a little bit more than one meal. 225 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:24,300 It might be a four-hour window. So you might be I can look at 24 226 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:28,200 window, so 20 hours of fasting, and four hours of eating, I 227 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:32,600 usually start eating at about 5:30 or 6:00 and then I may eat 228 00:11:32,900 --> 00:11:34,100 a meal. And then something before going 229 00:11:34,100 --> 00:11:37,600 to bed at 10:00, what do I drink during the day while Mondays and 230 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,900 Fridays, a drink Bulletproof Coffee coffee, I know that's 231 00:11:39,900 --> 00:11:43,000 actually breaking the fast but that's just the way I do it. 232 00:11:43,100 --> 00:11:44,900 And then I'll have coffee. I usually drink coffee till 233 00:11:44,900 --> 00:11:48,300 about noon or 1:00 and then I might switch till tea or water 234 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:52,600 but I do a lot of coffee during the day and then I just that I 235 00:11:52,608 --> 00:11:54,800 eat the way I started that and this is the way I explain it to 236 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,500 patients, as I didn't always do it this way and I thought it was 237 00:11:57,508 --> 00:12:01,500 impossible to do that, but it's the best way to lose weight in 238 00:12:01,500 --> 00:12:03,700 my opinion, for even patients. I think it's the healthiest the 239 00:12:03,700 --> 00:12:07,100 safest and the easiest to do for the rest of your life. 240 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,100 Long term meaning, I don't change what I eat. 241 00:12:09,100 --> 00:12:12,800 I just change one, I eat and if you want to see my philosophy 242 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,200 behind it, can go to a doctor. Belted.com to my courses. 243 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,300 There's one on on intermittent fasting. 244 00:12:17,300 --> 00:12:19,900 It's all the patient handouts that I give to my patients as 245 00:12:19,900 --> 00:12:22,300 well. And the way I did is I started 246 00:12:22,700 --> 00:12:25,000 for 3 months. I just skipped breakfast every 247 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,300 day until I got confident at skipping breakfast, every day, 248 00:12:28,300 --> 00:12:30,800 Monday through Friday. And then I picked one one day a 249 00:12:30,808 --> 00:12:34,800 week Wednesdays and I skipped lunch on Wednesdays and I 250 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:36,400 thought I was going to die the first time but I didn't. 251 00:12:36,900 --> 00:12:39,600 And then I did that for three months, really slow slow change 252 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,400 and then I did it on Tuesdays and Thursdays. 253 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,100 I skipped lunch, just Tuesdays and Thursdays, but breakfast and 254 00:12:44,100 --> 00:12:44,800 lunch. I'm sorry. 255 00:12:45,500 --> 00:12:47,300 And I thought I was gonna die, but I didn't. 256 00:12:47,500 --> 00:12:49,700 And then I went to doing it Monday through Friday, so that's 257 00:12:49,700 --> 00:12:52,100 what I'm currently a tie. Monday through Friday when I'm 258 00:12:52,100 --> 00:12:54,700 at work. I just keep really busy and I 259 00:12:54,700 --> 00:12:57,500 drink a lot of coffee and I just eat dinner and it in the 260 00:12:57,500 --> 00:12:58,600 beginning. It's hard, right? 261 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,200 Especially if I'm stressed, or if I'm tired or things like 262 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:05,300 that, or if there's other things there, that staff or patients, 263 00:13:05,300 --> 00:13:07,400 bring what I tend to be really disciplined. 264 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,100 I just it's not an option of eating during the day. 265 00:13:09,100 --> 00:13:11,400 I just kind of push through the day, and if there is something 266 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,800 that's brought to me, I'll bring it home and I'll eat it and I 267 00:13:13,808 --> 00:13:15,700 want to eat at home. I don't really restrict myself, 268 00:13:15,700 --> 00:13:19,500 I tend to eat, try to eat better like vegetables and meat and 269 00:13:19,500 --> 00:13:21,400 things like that. But I I eat whatever, I'm not 270 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,900 really that strict and then the weekends, it's usually two meals 271 00:13:24,300 --> 00:13:26,800 but I'll eat two meals, usually breakfast and dinner or 272 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:30,600 breakfast and lunch. So that's that's the best like 273 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:32,900 if most efficient way of eating that I found. 274 00:13:32,900 --> 00:13:36,500 I've tried multi-day fasts, I've tried eating ketogenic, I've 275 00:13:36,500 --> 00:13:43,200 tried food tracking, I tried cook days, where we used to do, 276 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,100 six small meals and we had a whole cook day on Saturday and 277 00:13:46,500 --> 00:13:49,400 cooked everything and I've tried all these things but for me by 278 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,300 far this is the easiest most Look at way to save money and 279 00:13:52,300 --> 00:13:55,600 slim down at the waistline. I found it very efficient for 280 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,000 that. So that's, that's why I kind of 281 00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:03,700 like my way to be efficient with eating and then it will kind of 282 00:14:03,700 --> 00:14:05,600 get into like personal development. 283 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:07,000 I always like to talk about that. 284 00:14:07,300 --> 00:14:13,400 I'm a big advocate of developing myself and just working on my 285 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,400 life. I think that's, that's key. 286 00:14:15,500 --> 00:14:17,800 I don't know how you guys do it but I find that reading that 287 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,900 uplifting book in the morning is good and then the way I have 288 00:14:20,900 --> 00:14:23,000 automated it and that's the key. I think you want to improve 289 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:24,600 something. It's best to automate it and 290 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:26,700 usually you automate it best when you pay for something. 291 00:14:26,900 --> 00:14:32,400 That's what I found. So I meet once or twice a month 292 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,800 with a with kind of a coach kind of helps guide my schedule, make 293 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:37,200 up my schedule for time planning to do. 294 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:40,500 Keep me focused on what my goals are and I meet with her on 295 00:14:40,500 --> 00:14:43,300 Fridays from 12 to 1 during my lunch hour. 296 00:14:44,300 --> 00:14:47,200 And so that's the most efficient way because it Fridays is my 297 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:48,800 routine day. So it's my block day where i'm 298 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:50,100 all I'm saying, is routine patients. 299 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:56,000 And so I can I can knowingly be done at 12 and the other days 300 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,300 are, no I can't. I'm usually done at 12:30 and I 301 00:14:58,308 --> 00:15:01,700 have a break till about 1:00. If that like most of like most 302 00:15:01,700 --> 00:15:06,500 everyone else and then so that's that's what I do in terms of 303 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,100 coaching getting coached. I also go to something called 304 00:15:09,100 --> 00:15:11,300 strategic coach every three months where I sit down and I 305 00:15:11,300 --> 00:15:14,700 work out my next three-year plan, or a three-month plan for 306 00:15:14,700 --> 00:15:18,400 my life. And then I also do that 307 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:20,600 journaling activity, I say every morning where I think the three 308 00:15:20,700 --> 00:15:23,900 The things that I'm going to do and then the other thing is I do 309 00:15:23,900 --> 00:15:27,400 for that is I get two books on on Audible, so it automatically 310 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,200 refreshes every month to month, two books. 311 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,600 And so, it makes me really focus in those tends to be personal 312 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:35,100 development books that I like to read. 313 00:15:35,100 --> 00:15:37,900 So it's really, really helpful for me to do that. 314 00:15:37,900 --> 00:15:40,500 That's why I can keep like reading the 5 Second by second 315 00:15:40,500 --> 00:15:41,400 rule. Now these are the ones that I've 316 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,500 been talking to you about and it gives me kind of fodder for what 317 00:15:44,500 --> 00:15:47,000 my hobby hobby is which is Podiatry practice Mastery. 318 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:50,600 So that's what I like to do. And so I'm looking for Within 319 00:15:50,700 --> 00:15:53,900 Podiatry, those that are. If you got this far, I think my 320 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:57,500 my goal and this year 2023 is to develop a group of people that 321 00:15:57,500 --> 00:16:00,600 want to do that together. So that would be a mastermind or 322 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,600 a coaching group. And so there will be a link on 323 00:16:04,100 --> 00:16:05,500 Podiatry, practice Master with coaching. 324 00:16:05,500 --> 00:16:08,600 So, having kind of a high level, how level coaching to be more 325 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:10,100 efficient and have more of a balanced life. 326 00:16:10,100 --> 00:16:12,600 That's what I want to work with other doctors and helping them. 327 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:14,900 So if this resonates with you reach out to me, there they'll 328 00:16:14,900 --> 00:16:17,500 be some options. You can do that and we can you 329 00:16:17,508 --> 00:16:19,000 can chat just ask me any questions. 330 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:22,700 You might have. So that's in terms of personal 331 00:16:22,700 --> 00:16:24,900 development. What I found the most effective 332 00:16:25,300 --> 00:16:29,000 and then coming into the clinic. I've you've heard me. 333 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,900 If you've heard some of my podcast, I've have multiple ways 334 00:16:31,900 --> 00:16:35,100 of being efficient in the office and you might be wondering, why 335 00:16:35,100 --> 00:16:39,400 do I want to be so efficient. So my reason for being efficient 336 00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:43,800 is I don't like to waste time and I want to be with my family, 337 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,700 not distracted. So I do no work at night time 338 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,000 and I do no work on the weekends because I'm very involved in my 339 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:54,000 Church nights and on the weekends and I don't want to be 340 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:55,600 distracted. So I don't check email. 341 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,000 I don't do any work related notes, I don't do anything on 342 00:16:58,008 --> 00:16:59,800 the nights and on the weekends because I want to be I want to 343 00:16:59,808 --> 00:17:04,300 be freed from that so that's why I want to be so efficient during 344 00:17:04,300 --> 00:17:06,599 the work week. So during the work week, you 345 00:17:06,599 --> 00:17:10,000 know, like most of you I use a EMR Minds Athena, I have 346 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,099 patients every 20 minutes, whether it be new or established 347 00:17:12,099 --> 00:17:15,000 patients, Friday is the only day I double and triple book and 348 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:16,000 that's because it's my routine day. 349 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,200 So I put everyone and I really do that to restrict access as 350 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:20,800 well. So if people, Only are available 351 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:22,500 Friday. They can't see me. 352 00:17:22,500 --> 00:17:25,300 They can't, they have to go somewhere else, and it really 353 00:17:25,300 --> 00:17:28,300 just makes me Crews that day. And I just kind of get through, 354 00:17:28,300 --> 00:17:30,400 get through my, my Fridays with that. 355 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:32,500 And this the only day I do that the other days I'm doing, like 356 00:17:32,500 --> 00:17:35,000 all the other regenerative medicine, Shockwave heel pain, 357 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:36,800 all the traditional stuff, ingrown toenails things that 358 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:40,300 everyone else does a couple of other things for efficiency. 359 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,700 The the newest one that I've been doing right now is using a 360 00:17:44,708 --> 00:17:46,400 scribe. And I know a couple of other 361 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,100 podiatrist that do that there are a couple of companies if you 362 00:17:49,100 --> 00:17:51,300 want to know which ones. It's just I'm using, you can 363 00:17:51,300 --> 00:17:53,400 reach out to me. Don at Podiatry, practice Master 364 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,300 e.com, I'll be happy to share any of my thoughts. 365 00:17:55,900 --> 00:17:58,500 I'm going to eventually have a master class on training ascribe 366 00:17:58,500 --> 00:18:00,400 because that's been a month and I've been training them. 367 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,800 And so that's where I get my content for this show is as I'm 368 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:05,500 learning things I like to share it with others. 369 00:18:05,500 --> 00:18:08,200 So that's why I did one. Recently on biopsies, I've done 370 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:11,500 one on on afos. I'm going to be doing one on 371 00:18:11,500 --> 00:18:13,200 training ascribe. These are things that I'm 372 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,600 learning that, I think, others might be right resonate with 373 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:19,100 might be interested in. And so the scribes, my newest 374 00:18:19,100 --> 00:18:22,600 thing it's been about a month. His name is Chen Drew and I 375 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:26,100 really like working with him and it's been made my life a lot 376 00:18:26,100 --> 00:18:27,600 easier. So, it's, I could, I can do the 377 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:29,600 notes. I was very efficient with doing 378 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:33,600 notes, but I find the harder notes are a little bit easier 379 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,200 and I can focus much more on the patient. 380 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,100 Another are a few things, I have to learn how to do like I used 381 00:18:39,100 --> 00:18:40,200 to be looking at the chart all the time. 382 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:41,400 So I knew what they were here for. 383 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,700 I knew what they've been through, what Imaging they've 384 00:18:43,700 --> 00:18:45,100 had. So it takes a little bit to get 385 00:18:45,100 --> 00:18:47,800 used to, but I've really enjoyed doing the Scribe and it's pretty 386 00:18:48,300 --> 00:18:50,700 reasonable in terms of price. I think it's If you add one 387 00:18:50,700 --> 00:18:54,600 extra patient a day, it pretty much pays for it described, but 388 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:56,500 it says it's a learning curve. Take took me about a month 389 00:18:56,500 --> 00:18:59,200 because I have a lot of macros these like templates that I use. 390 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,100 I had to teach him how to use that subscribes like for me the 391 00:19:02,100 --> 00:19:04,500 number one thing that made my life, good has been described in 392 00:19:04,500 --> 00:19:07,500 the number two thing in the office that makes my life good 393 00:19:07,900 --> 00:19:10,800 is having my patient presentations and I've talked to 394 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,400 you at nauseam about these, but I'ma tell you again this is like 395 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,000 the best thing I couldn't practice without them. 396 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:19,000 Basically, what they are is they are Google Slides of 397 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,200 presentations and everything. Treat and I show that to every 398 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,100 single new patient. It's not all the established 399 00:19:24,100 --> 00:19:26,400 patients but every single new patient, I'm going through a 400 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,000 slide deck, the most common ones like the 80/20. 401 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:32,400 The 80% that I use all the time are plantar fasciitis, and 402 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,100 achilles tendonitis, and neuroma and metatarsalgia. 403 00:19:35,100 --> 00:19:37,100 The typical things that we see that are a little more complex 404 00:19:37,100 --> 00:19:41,300 to explain and its really, really helped me to be more 405 00:19:41,300 --> 00:19:45,400 efficient in my, in my practice. So, the patient presentations, 406 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,300 you want to see them, you can go to either patient 407 00:19:47,300 --> 00:19:50,500 presentations.com or just go right there and get my You can 408 00:19:50,500 --> 00:19:52,800 actually see the link tree. It's the links that I actually 409 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,900 use, you can use mine, try them out if you want to modify and 410 00:19:55,900 --> 00:19:57,800 then you can just kind of reach out to me and I'll tell you how 411 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,900 you can do that, okay? But I like to give things away 412 00:20:00,900 --> 00:20:03,900 and I love it this, it's like, revolutionized my life, like the 413 00:20:03,900 --> 00:20:07,000 pre-surgical discussion, what I do before surgeries plantar 414 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,800 fasciitis, it goes in depth and you can kind of learn how I use 415 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,100 those. So like those are the two big 416 00:20:13,100 --> 00:20:16,300 things right now in terms of practice would be the Scribe and 417 00:20:16,300 --> 00:20:19,700 my my templates. And then from there, like other 418 00:20:19,700 --> 00:20:22,000 things like Products and regenerative medicine like 419 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,200 Shockwave, and am new and all these other types of things, but 420 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,700 they all build on the presentations. 421 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:28,300 If I didn't have the presentations would be a lot 422 00:20:28,300 --> 00:20:30,600 harder to do all of those other things. 423 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:34,300 So, in terms of efficiency, those are the two things that 424 00:20:34,300 --> 00:20:38,600 work the best. And then also in terms of 425 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,800 efficiency, if you guys want to know a little bit more how I 426 00:20:41,900 --> 00:20:46,200 kind of produce content. So I produce content both for my 427 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:50,200 YouTube page which I know there are a lot of podiatrist by Legs 428 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:53,200 that have more subscribers. I have 15,000 subscribers, 429 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,400 others, have a lot more. I don't do any like an hour, I 430 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,600 don't any gross videos. It's mostly just educational 431 00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:01,000 videos and then I re utilize them without product called 432 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,900 patient, education, genius. So, I put the YouTube videos on 433 00:21:03,900 --> 00:21:06,700 that and I dispense it to patients when they come in the 434 00:21:06,700 --> 00:21:08,200 office. So that connects to my medical 435 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,700 record, it's called patient education, genius. 436 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,600 And that I probably couldn't live out with live with that. 437 00:21:13,700 --> 00:21:16,300 I live out with that a live without that as well because it 438 00:21:16,300 --> 00:21:17,600 just makes my life so much easier. 439 00:21:17,900 --> 00:21:20,800 And then I do make videos, I tend to record On Tuesdays. 440 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,000 So these would be for Podiatry. Practice Mastery also for my 441 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:27,500 YouTube and I have a virtual assistant that works with me. 442 00:21:27,500 --> 00:21:29,900 Her name is Veronica. I pay her twenty dollars an hour 443 00:21:30,300 --> 00:21:35,200 and she does all of my video editing and all of like sending 444 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:38,200 out the emails for Podiatry, practice Mastery, it may I love 445 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:39,300 her. If you're listening Veronica 446 00:21:39,300 --> 00:21:41,000 because you listen to these. Thank you, thank you. 447 00:21:41,300 --> 00:21:45,100 She helps my life be so much easier and does these things 448 00:21:45,100 --> 00:21:47,200 that just like multiplies my hands. 449 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,000 So I can do a lot more that I couldn't do by myself. 450 00:21:50,100 --> 00:21:52,700 Elf. And so those are kind of the 451 00:21:52,700 --> 00:21:56,300 ways that I've become more efficient in the office, you 452 00:21:56,300 --> 00:21:59,000 know, having an assistant doing my, scribing have an assistant 453 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:02,400 helping with my videos and content production and then 454 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:06,300 having these other technologies that can make life, much more 455 00:22:06,300 --> 00:22:09,800 efficient. I do most of my idea ideation or 456 00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:13,000 ideas on Google Slides, so I have one, Google slide deck for 457 00:22:13,008 --> 00:22:14,700 dr. Pail toe, which my basically, 458 00:22:14,700 --> 00:22:17,400 those are pictures I take for my, for my EMR of patients. 459 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:18,700 When they come in without identifiers. 460 00:22:18,700 --> 00:22:21,400 And I talked about different Things that come in for 461 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,200 Podiatry, practice Mastery. And this new thing that I'm 462 00:22:23,208 --> 00:22:25,200 doing, which is Podiatry management. 463 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,600 Minute with them with Barry block. 464 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,500 Those are my ideas just come. I put them on Google slides and 465 00:22:30,500 --> 00:22:34,600 I tend to record once a week, I record everything on Tuesdays. 466 00:22:35,500 --> 00:22:37,700 So I do that Tuesdays at lunchtime. 467 00:22:37,700 --> 00:22:39,800 So if you want to know about like my our meetings. 468 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:41,600 So I said Monday and Friday, I work out. 469 00:22:41,700 --> 00:22:43,700 Tuesday's. We have an office meeting in the 470 00:22:43,700 --> 00:22:47,500 morning on Wednesday. I have a meeting with my virtual 471 00:22:47,500 --> 00:22:49,500 with my virtual assistant on Wednesdays. 472 00:22:50,100 --> 00:22:52,300 Thursday's, I don't have anything in Friday's, I have 473 00:22:52,300 --> 00:22:56,900 that workout and then the noon time, what I do is I try to I 474 00:22:56,900 --> 00:23:00,400 try, I'm usually done by about 12:30 and I find packing my 475 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:01,700 schedule. Makes it a lot easier to get 476 00:23:01,700 --> 00:23:03,700 more done. So Monday, I don't have much, I 477 00:23:03,708 --> 00:23:05,600 might have a meeting once in awhile Monday during lunch at 478 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:08,700 12:30 on Tuesdays. When I record videos, Wednesdays 479 00:23:08,700 --> 00:23:12,100 and Thursdays is when I do my interviews with people for 480 00:23:12,100 --> 00:23:13,700 Podiatry, practice Mastery in the way. 481 00:23:13,700 --> 00:23:16,900 I schedule that is with something called calendly, and 482 00:23:16,900 --> 00:23:18,500 that's how I schedule give my calendar out. 483 00:23:18,500 --> 00:23:20,200 So if you want to be interviewed and I've been interviewed The 484 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,700 people that tell you see all the interviews, they come, I do 485 00:23:22,700 --> 00:23:24,800 those on Wednesdays and Thursdays and Friday, I'm either 486 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:28,800 we doing with a coach. I'm, you know, working a deep 487 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:30,800 dive on something. So, I try to be most efficient 488 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:32,400 that I can, then when I go home, I'm done. 489 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:33,500 I don't have to think about anything. 490 00:23:33,500 --> 00:23:35,100 I don't bring any business ideas home. 491 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,000 I'm not worried about it on the weekend. 492 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:39,800 I try to avoid as much as I can business reading on the weekend. 493 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,400 That's how I can have a balance, and I've learned this, not on my 494 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,200 cell phone. I used to be really bad at this 495 00:23:45,300 --> 00:23:46,800 and I'm still kind of improving on it. 496 00:23:46,900 --> 00:23:49,900 But I learned this idea from strategic coach and dance. 497 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:54,200 Sullivan and it's basically the idea of something called free 498 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:57,000 focus and buffer days. And so you can Google that if 499 00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,600 you want, but basically my days at work are focused days. 500 00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:03,600 I'm trying to be the most 100% efficient I can so that I can 501 00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,800 have better free days with my family and not be distracted. 502 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,000 Buffer is something I don't have a lot of buffers. 503 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,800 Like when you prepare to have good free days and prepare to 504 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:15,400 have good Focus days. But I don't have much buffer 505 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,700 usually, cuz I'm using others to do that. 506 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:19,900 That kind of prep work that needs to be done. 507 00:24:20,100 --> 00:24:22,400 So I let me know if you guys found this beneficial. 508 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:24,800 I know, I went through a lot of things, but this is what I 509 00:24:24,808 --> 00:24:28,300 talked about in that interview with Asian efficiency and if you 510 00:24:28,300 --> 00:24:30,600 want to learn more, like how to implement some of these things 511 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:32,700 in your office, reach out to me, go to Podiatry, practice, 512 00:24:32,700 --> 00:24:36,400 Mastery, there's a coaching area, there's the practice 513 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,400 Mastery Academy and then they'll be a coaching thing there. 514 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:40,300 Soon.
