Time Management Essentials

Medicine trains you to treat doubt as incompetence, then places you in a system where the standard is never quite met. Feeling like a fraud there is predictable, not a character flaw.

This session is for the moment self doubt starts to cost you, the decision you second guess, the help you never ask for. You leave able to hold a high standard without it holding you.

• Recognise why some specialties and training environments breed imposter feelings more than others, and why the evidence points at the system, not at you.
• Trace the line between self doubt, over functioning and burnout, and spot where you sit on it before it costs your health.
• Name the thinking patterns that drive self doubt and apply evidence based techniques to interrupt them before a difficult decision.
• Ask for help and admit uncertainty in a way that protects both patient safety and your standing with the team.
• Set a sustainable standard for your work and hold to it under pressure from a rota, a colleague or yourself.
