Love this share from Pieter (Du Toit) Oosthuizen, M. Inst. D “You can’t pour from an empty cup. Take care of yourself first”

Have you ever gotten into a disagreement with your coworkers that could have been easily avoided if you cross-referenced your calendars for the week? I recommend “schedule syncing” with your team for fifteen minutes every Monday at the start of the workweek to review the week ahead. This creates a newfound sense of alignment. This starts by Timeboxing, a method I use to plan my day. Check out a Free Schedule Maker I made at the link in the comments below! You can share it with your friends, colleagues, and more and later use it to align commitments. Whether at work or in your personal life, planning out your schedule in advance is an essential step to becoming Indistractable. What are your thoughts on this? Share in the comments below! #Indistractable #Scheduling #TimeManagement #TimeBoxing …see more

How sweet would life be if we could all be “indistractable?” No matter where we are, whether at work, at home, or otherwise, distraction seems to be a common thread. Endless texts and calls, the pings, dings, and rings of notifications, or colleagues interrupting you at work… all these distractions put a wrench in our plans. Check out a segment that The List TV had on becoming “indistractable” at the link in the comments below! During this segment, I share “4 Ways to Beat Distractions and Take Back your Focus.” After watching, tag a few friends / colleagues who you think should watch too. #Indistractable #Attention #HumanBehavior #Distraction #TheListTV …see more

5 years ago I went on the #sagelistens RV tour and drove from Las Vegas to Reno making video blogs about cloud accounting along the way. That trip was really cool but more importantly it opened quite a few other doors for me. Everyone asks me how I got to go. I was the only non Sage Executive on the tour. Easy!!! I asked! Is there something cool you want to do in your career? It never hurts to ask? #radicalcpa #sage Jennifer Warawa #technology #cloudaccounting …see more

Ten years ago I began on journey. I was confused about how the changes I was making (innovation) were impacting my firm, my customers and my life. I started to blog for clarity for myself. Ideas became speeches, tweets, & two books. Readers became loyal followers, fans, & friends. This week I impacted accountants who have a culture completely different than ours. I encouraged a young woman from the stage to jump out of a traditional path if she wasn’t feeling respected. She saw an opportunity & courage to ask a mature woman (yes, me) how to advance her career. You could hear the hope. She could forge a new personal path to her success. This young woman touched me. This week made years of a sometimes hard, wonderful journey tangible. I get caught in the everyday to do’s and work. I forget the sacrifices/choices I’ve made to continue the journey. I have impacted lots of CPAs but on that stage I realized that those crazy ideas have changed the world! Ideas that many established professionals tried to stop. They were too disruptive. Ideas that many of those same established men own as if they were their own original ideas. My week ended with an incredible global party. And needed downtime at the most iconic pool in the world. #anOMGmoment …see more

Thank you Meital Sela for bringing SOSU to Israel! Thank you Lisa Zaythik Assaf Schwartz for letting me the freedom to learn. #sosumed #AppsFlyer …see more

Amen to this sentiment. Nurses, doctors, respiratory therapists do not study hard, take exams and dedicate their lives to caring for others just to be mistreated, disrespected and not listened to by patients. I’ll say this again: healthcare professionals do not have to take care of sick people —they can refuse to care for a patient or stop working all together. Our healthcare providers are becoming burned out and bummed out. Healthcare professionals receive profound satisfaction from taking care of patients. However, they too have limits and nothing rubs caregivers the wrong way more than patients who don’t show personal accountability for their actions and behaviors. “They tell you there must be another reason (besides COVID) they are sick. They call you names and ask why you have to wear all that ‘stuff’ because they don’t have covid because it’s not real. Yes. This really happens.” 
“These people really think this isn’t going to happen to them. And then they stop yelling at you when they get intubated.” As my mother used to say: “It’s good to have an open mind but not so open that your brains fall out.” Amen …see more

It's so great to share that my new paper got just published in the Journal of Medical Artificial Intelligence. I described why data annotator physicians sitting in dark rooms annotating data for machine and deep learning algorithms are the unsung heroes of medicine’s artificial intelligence revolution. I also listed some methods of how we could reward them for their important work. Check it out and please let me know if you have heard about other examples! https://lnkd.in/gsiYAWs #themedicalfuturist #digitalhealth #future #healthcare #medicine #technology #AI #artificialintelligence #chess #deeplearning #machinelearning #research …see more

Chess world No. 1, Magnus Carlsen, just won the 2019 Altibox Norway Chess tournament. After the event, he said that: „I have been influenced by my heroes recently, which is Alpha Zero and also one of my seconds, Dubov.” His hero is Alphazero, the algorithm that plays the most beautiful attacking games these days. Also, it has around 700 more ELO points than Magnus. What an amazing approach he has. Have you heard physicians saying that they have been influenced by a recent algorithm that does their job better? #themedicalfuturist #digitalhealth #future #healthcare #medicine #technology #AI #artificialintelligence #chess #deeplearning #machinelearning #TMFchessjourney …see more

I just gave a talk in Lisbon to a selected group of diabetes patient bloggers and thought leaders about the concept of empowered patients and physicians and how A.I. will help make patients the point-of-care. They loved it and I asked if one or two of them would be OK for a photo. This is what we got in half a minute. Amazing people, real superpatients! #speakerlife #speaker #digitalhealth #diabetes #healthcare #health …see more

These two e-books, A Guide to Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare and The Technological Future of Medical Specialties aim to serve as guides on how to successfully cooperate with technologies and to make much of the tech-driven disruption we experience today and will likely encounter in the coming years understandable and manageable.

Every medical specialty will transform differently due to the technological revolution. On certain fields, such as nursing, psychiatry, obstetrics and gynecology, innovation will have much less impact than on dentistry, cardiology or pathology. In this e-book we specify in detail how the appearance of artificial intelligence, sensors, wearables, VR/AR or robots affect each medical specialty in order to be able to discern what skills physicians will need in the future: https://lnkd.in/gF5gd62 #themedicalfuturist #digitalhealth #future #healthcare #medicine #technology #book #reading #read #ebook …see more

This is what a code looks like and this is how many healthcare professionals it takes to run it. Many hospitals have limited resources now. Stay home to do your part. #healthcare #covid19

When it comes to the relief policies being implemented by governments and central banks, it's been less an issue of willingness and ability (both exceptionally high) and mich more one of effectiveness.
