Great slide deck man - cant stand when slides are loaded up with content and fluff. In 7 slides, I just got to know you and what you're all about. Looking forward to getting you on the show!

put on headphones with loud music while working
while meeting: put smartphones on top of each other, first one touching 'the pile' to look at the phone pays the next round
strict schedules and use a timer
go back to non-webbased emailclients
use rescuetime to analyse your unproductiveness
install leechblock or some other plugin that keeps you away from less productive websites

I think you hit the most of them. I also turn off Wifi when I need more done. We can find a million ways to waste time. : )

Jason Berek-Lewis comments on Why your medical practice needs a social media strategy

Hi Marie, Thanks so much for your support and your comment. You are right about the role of social media in helping to connect medical professionals to their community - when medical doctors step out from behind the desk and the white coat and share with people on Twitter, Facebook, etc it breaks down barriers and helps both parties to communicate as equal members of a team. There are of course many 'personal branding' benefits for doctors who use social media, but it's the opportunity for doctor/ patient collaboration that really excites me.

There’s no question that social media is growing in importance in the healthcare field and it is no longer an optional marketing strategy. Access to health information online is empowering patients and forcing medicine to become part of a more consumer driven market. For doctors to distinguish themselves from each other, they must respond to a digital society which now demands transparency and engagement. Joining in the online health conversation gives your patients a sense of belonging and emotional connection; it positions you as an expert in your field, helps you stand out from your peers, and inspires your staff. Word of mouth is the most valuable form of referral you can get and social media can harness this power and spread its reach in a way that traditional advertising cannot.
