Pump the brakes on your week and take 10 minutes to make your life as a surgeon just a little better…
On this episode, Jeff welcomes back Jonathan Cabin to the mini-podcast. Jonathan and Jeff share with us a social media strategy we can use as a performance improvement tool in our personal and professional lives – Batching! Jon describes batching for Jeff as a system for completing all of your social media tasks at once to avoid disruption and improve productivity. He explains that batching similar tasks can help improve our time management by minimizing instances of switching costs.
To do this, Jonathan suggests several steps to start:
Step 1 – Choose a recurring task you complete on a regular basis, like posting on social media or checking email.
Step 2 – Set an intention around batching the task you choose.
Step 3 – Implement your batching system and monitor it for continual improvement!
Batching is a perfect example of how surgeons can improve their effectiveness inside and outside of the OR.
