Procrastination: An Enemy to the Mind
Most of the time I just eat the cookie and throw away that little slip of paper with the fortune on it. Their generic quotes have never seemed to inspire me until recently, when I came across one that really motivated me. I liked it so much that I slipped it in the back of my phone where I can read it and be reminded of its simple message each day. “Procrastination is the enemy of success.” It reminds me of the goals I’ve set and helps me to focus my efforts on things that are of true value in my life.
Recently that message took on a new meaning for me because I have been preparing for my Family Medicine Board Exam, and as you are all aware, this required several weeks of focused studying and test review. If I had procrastinated my studying then I may not have passed this important milestone in my medical journey, but by diligently focusing my efforts I was able to successfully pass this test. Now that the exam is over and I reflect on my last 3 years of residency training, I am grateful for a profession that challenges me each day to avoid procrastination and encourages lifelong learning. By more intently studying, I have also noticed that I’m taking better care of my patients because I better understand the guidelines and recommendations that have been laid out for us. I also have a broader differential for abnormal patient presentations and I more easily recognize the bread and butter cases of family medicine.
Do you remember a patient case in the last month where you felt underprepared? Maybe you felt like the imposter that they teach you about during medical school because you were questioning your knowledge. This has happened to me a time or two, but in preparing for my boards I have become apprised of new and more complete information, which is in turn helping me to combat my own imposter syndrome. It is also opening the door to success with my patients. In turn, I would like to invite you to procrastinate less and review more. Jump into that book you’ve been thinking about reading. Buy that study manual you’ve been hearing about or subscribe to a journal that you find interesting. Maybe listen to that educational podcast a little more frequently or come up with your own test questions that you can use to quiz students or residents around you. Maybe it’s time to allow medical students into your practice so that they can ask you questions and challenge you to stay aware of the most up-to-date guidelines and treatments.
But why is it so easy to procrastinate? Tim Urban gives an excellent TED Talk about being in the mind of a "Master Procrastinator" and he addresses the idea that there are three little voices in our head. First is the rational voice that takes the lead and wants to get things done, second is a little monkey that wants to party, and third is the "panic monster" that finally kicks you into gear to get things done. He mentions that if there is a deadline, the panic monster will successfully freak out the monkey and let the rational voice take charge. He then mentions a phenomenon where we have tasks in life that should get done, but because there is no deadline, the panic monster can hide away and let the monkey run the show. Examples include: health and wellness, studying, spending time with relatives, starting a business or doing service. Nothing is telling you to get these jobs done, so they often sit on the back burner and never get accomplished. He proposes that to overcome that little monkey that wreaks havoc in our day, we need to impose our own deadlines and stick to them. He then gives a humbling perspective stating that in a 90-year life you have 4680 weeks to get things done. If you’re 40, then you’ve already used 2080 weeks and only have 2600 left.
What will you do with your remaining time? Why not make a weekly goal to do something new that will benefit your mind and leave the fun monkey in the passenger’s seat for some well needed rest and relaxation!
What are some of the things you do to combat the monkey?
