Be Better Than Good Enough
Recommendations continue to be the best ones that I read, so keep them coming J. Here are the second ten of 2018. (Make sure to check out the first ten if you haven’t already). First, the ratings out of 10: 10: These are books that I think everyone should read. […]
All I could think about on Friday was how I didn’t feel like going. Saturday morning was going to be long, stressful, and tiring. As we set up for the next day, I looked around the clinic. In about twelve hours, the place would be packed with high school athletes. […]
My coffee cup was full, Spotify’s Tropical House playlist was on point, I had settled into my chair, and was fully committed to working on a presentation for the next few hours. Everything was perfect for productivity. The optimism was palpable as I dove into my work. The flow state […]

A few patients will be running the Disney Princess Half Marathon this weekend in Orlando. I asked one if she was trying to beat a time. She looked at me confused and said, “You do it for the experience, all I want to do is finish.” There are two types […]
I’m sleep deprived. I’ve gladly traded my bedtime for the Olympics. I can’t turn them off and when I do, I feel like I’m missing something. I haven’t stopped talking about the Olympics, I’ve forced many co-workers to watch replays, and I’ve downloaded four different apps to ensure that I […]
