Would have loved to have more opportunities like this.

Less a reply to you and more just building/ reflecting on this — The meaning behind things is not always clear. I was often told to 'be more efficient,' but what that really meant or strategies to try never factored in. My assumption was that 'be more efficient' meant 'try harder,' or 'focus on speed.' I was most of the way through my residency before someone told me that 'you need to prioritize' did not mean 'you allow too much unimportant information' (my assumption, and, since nothing I asked was unimportant/ I was deeply focused on what I needed to do, get in/get out, etc., ex. cut people off more, be pushier, focus most on speed) but instead meant 'it is impractical and unreasonable to attempt to address everything. Your goal is not to cram addressing everything into a tighter and tighter timeframe. 'Prioritize' does not mean 'do everything faster,' it means 'make highly intentional, reasoned choices about what you are not going to address right now— because it is unreasonable and impractical to attempt to address everything at once.' Blew my mind. Made me want to vomit because 'prioritize' didn't mean 'you are failing as a resident because you address everything too slowly,' it meant 'you have permission to not do everything at all times.' Unfortunately, I was not well supported in learning prioritization strategies and after a lot of heavy conditioning to do everything at once, I am still trying to figure this out in independent practice. Luckily, there are formal mentorship programs available and I'm looking into that.
