Here’s a tip from business expert Chet Holmes. Put only 6 things on your daily to do list. Make sure that those 6 things will move your practice forward in a significant way – and that it is consistent with your overall practice plan.
And here’s one more from me. Schedule time to work on your to do list away from direct patient care. Working on business growth requires getting into the right frame of mind. Many high value tasks require a different type of thinking than clinical care dictates. It doesn’t take many knocks on the door or phone calls to take me right out of that mental state. First thing in the morning before everyone gets there works best. Even though I’m not a morning person I’ve found it necessary to develop the discipline to work when the getting’s good.
