Another great post from Daily Grind (thanks Joe!)

Like I said I get off at 4pm but my work doesn't end there. During the day there is almost no time for my to write up charts. I am computerized, with EagleSoft, and I have all the templates, but it takes forever. If I did a filling I know there is a template for that, but if it is ever different than the normal filling I like to write it down. You know, "Deep, near exposure, I put Vitrebond on the axial pulpal line angle. Or I told patient it may be sensitive do to blah blah blah. There is always something I feel like I will want to remember the next time. So I am usually two days behind on writing my charts.
I stop seeing patients at 4pm and I used to get the call from the wife at 4:06pm. Anyone else having this issue. "What are you doing? When are you coming home?"
Now listen, I know being at home with 3 kids 8 and under is tough, why do you think I come to work?

I have to explain to her this is OUR lively hood. In order for OUR practice to continue to be successful I need to put in the time. I am at work only4 days a week. Those days are going to be long. I am not staying at work because it is fun to be by myself and write up charts. I am not staying after work to deal with staff situations because I love confrontation. I am staying after because I HAVE to. So you can not call me putting pressure on me to get home. She understood and now waits to call until about 4:30.

Am I the only one that feel like the office will suck if you stop making it run?

Joe, you are not the only one. I am not a dentist but I run three businesses and a number of folks that report to me and it all has to be done in between barefoot running and weightlifting. And none of it gets done without my doing it.

So when you add blogging to the mix…well, who has time for that too?

I'm gonna tell you something. We are all of us busy people. You don't have to do crown and bridge to be busy. We are super busy. And we all have a life, with vacations and wonderful family.

We need to outsource stuff that we aren't essential to. So outsource going to church. Outsource raising your children. Just KIDDING.
