I just created an EEC that combines my passion for fiction writing with my knowledge of medicine!

New fiction writers, you may need to write scenes involving real-world medicine.

Want to make sure you're getting it right?

November 14th was World Diabetes Day.

I didn't do a post about it on that day.

Because, if you are a person living with Diabetes, then every day is Diabetes Day.

Diabetes distress is a real thing, something NEVER touched on in medical school.

I'm changing that.

I'm writing a series of posts for my fellow GPs and any HCPs interested in Diabetes Care:

@EloiseRyuu Hi Eloise!!! Happy to see you.

Half-life your message is an important technique in (health) communication.

How does it work?

Record yourself talking about a single topic repeatedly, decreasing the length of time for each recording.

The point: You distill it down to the salient point.

The core message.

Today, I read a novel.

It's been 2 months since I read something not related to medicine, business, building a brand, or medical writing.

I felt guilty.

But one reason for building a business was to own my time.

If I can't do what I love guilt free, then what's the point?

[Geeta B🚢 @GeetzB1]

Once you know this central point, this should be your first sentence.

Every word that comes after should serve to support this.

If you bury your point in a wall of text, no one is going to do the work to find it.

Do the heavy lifting!

Effort writing = Effortless reading.

An email subscriber replied:

“Love the daily emails but how do you keep up the quality having to write so many?”

I replied — “How do you mean?”

“I mean isn’t it hard to write a great email everyday instead of once a week?”

Hmmm.

I thought about it and replied:

“Do you really think the guy writing an email a week is gonna be a better writer than the guy writing an email a day?”

The lesson?

Quality comes from quantity.

[Geeta B🚢 @GeetzB1]

People say, "Time is money."

No, it isn't.

You can gain money, lose it, and gain it back.

You can’t get back time.

It flows one way.

Invest it wisely, but don't hesitate to spend on people and things you love.

@rachellawlan @murdockmaureen Reminds me of something I heard in yoga class and the different techniques to help balance the energy.

@Petra_Zuckerli Or maybe not "forget" but condition ourselves to ignore. At least I know that's what I did for years!

I saw an ad for an app that's supposed to tell me how much sleep I need.

Do we really need an app for thar?

Or should we be learning how to listen to our bodies rather than our phone?

[Geeta B🚢 @GeetzB1]

A few weeks ago, I did a meditation workshop.

One thing I noticed as a result: deeper sleep.

In fact, one day, I slept for 12 hours.

I was a bit worried.

But then

I realized meditation wasn't putting me to sleep.

It was waking me up to the needs of my body.

[Geeta B🚢 @GeetzB1]

@JulesStefanich I feel that. I swear everything is about "systems" and "framework" to get a billion dollars in 60 days!

I've been messing around with Obsidian, trying to turn it into my own Zettelkasten.

There is a learning curve for the software and the notetaking system. But, this is my ballast. Energy in now for efficiency later.

[Geeta B🚢 @GeetzB1]

Today, I did a writing prompt: Look up, and write about what you see.

Unfortunately, there was nothing to see "up" but a fluorescent light. What the hell was I going to write about that?

Does anyone want to know about glowing gas in a tube? It's energy efficient.

But...

Writing is weaving together seemingly disparate threads into a unique pattern.

Our threads are information we consume from various sources- books, articles, podcasts, and social media. A good knowledge management system makes storing, accessing, and linking information efficient
