Physician Life Balance Training - Sawtooth Energy Management

Tool #3

Sawtooth Energy Management

How do you come all the way home - and defend a healthy boundary between work and home - when you have charts left to do or you are On Call?

Let me show you how to stop leaking energy in anger and frustration. With the Sawtooth Energy Management technique the only time you are not OFF and all the way home are the few minutes you are actually in the chart or on the phone.

Check it out.

YOUR ASSIGNMENT?

PRACTICE - PRACTICE - PRACTICE

You now understand both the Boundary Ritual and Sawtooth Energy Management and we both know understanding - comprehension - knowledge will get you nowhere.

You must APPLY what you know. You must take a New Action to get the BALANCE you seek.

Make sure you have a solid Boundary Ritual habit first. Here is that training.
Make sure you always use your Boundary Ritual when you come home - every day/night without fail.
Sawtooth Energy management assumes you start with your energy level at the HOME setting. With practice, that home level will be close to baseline or zero. So do your Boundary Ritual without fail.
When it is time to chart or the phone rings when you are on call - put on your Doctor Hat, take a breath and raise your energy level to match what you need in that moment.
When the call or charts are done, take that Doctor Hat off and breathe yourself back down to your HOME energy level.

And always remember ... PRACTICE MAKES [ ________________ ]
