“Clear Thinking” by @shaneparrish is a must read.

7 ideas + quotes that especially landed for me from his elegant writing. Please read it, it’s pure signal.

1: Test yourself against yourself. Again, again…and again.

“While no one chooses difficult circumstances, adversity provides opportunity. It allows us to test ourselves, and see who we’ve become. The test isn’t against other people, though; it’s against our former selves. Are we better than we were yesterday? The path to being exceptional begins when you decide to be responsible for your actions no matter the situations.”

2: Lead from the front.

“‘Show me an organization in which employees take ownership, and I will show you one that beats its competitors,’ says Abrashoff. ‘Captains need to see the ship from the crew’s perspective. They need to make it easy and rewarding for crew members to express themselves and their ideas.’”

3: Make your thinking visible.

“If you want to see whether your thinking is wrong, you need to make it visible. Making what was previously invisible visible gives us the best chance of seeing what we knew and thought at the time we made a decision. Relying on memory won’t work because the ego distorts information to make us look better than we were. Once you realize that it’s time to update your ideas, though, changing what you believe about the world requires a lot of work. So people tend to ignore what the world is trying to tell them.”

4: Being able to determine what matters vs what doesn’t, quickly, is a competitive advantage.

“Most information is irrelevant. Knowing what to ignore - separating the signal from the noise - is the key to not wasting valuable time…People who can quickly distinguish what matters from what doesn’t gain a huge advantage in a world where the flow of information never stops.”

5: Control the controllables and have faith in the outcomes the process will generate.

“You can only control the process you use to make the decision. It’s that process that determines whether a decision is good or bad. The quality of the outcome is a separate issue. Make your decision making process as visible and open to scrutiny as possible.”

6: Practice Extreme Ownership.

“The key to getting what you want out of life is to identify how the world works and to align yourself with it. Often people think the world should work differently than it does, and when they don’t get the outcomes they want, they try to wiggle out of responsibility by blaming other people or their circumstances. Avoiding responsibility is a recipe for misery, and the opposite of what it takes to cultivate good judgment.”

7: Regrets from what we did and failed at aren’t the same as regrets from failing to try.

“We regret the things we didn’t do more than the things we did. The pain of trying and failing may be intense but at least it tends to be over rather quickly. The pain of failing to try, on the other hand, is less intense but never really goes away.”

Clear Thinking by @shaneparrish was incredible. I wanted to share some nuggets. This book is all about space and processes for wise decision making.

My favorite: “Good judgement is expensive. Poor judgement will cost you a fortune.”

Devour it.

[Jeff Harris RPh, MSHI @jeffrx]

"The courage to start.
The discipline to focus.
The confidence to figure it out.
The patience to know progress is not always visible.
The persistence to keep going, even on the bad days.

That's the formula."

Surround yourself with relentless humans. People who plan in decades, but live in moments. Train like savages, but create like artists. Obsess in work, relax in life. People who know this is finite, and choose to play infinite games. Find people scaling mountains. Climb together.

@drnickUSA @DrRupaMarya There needs to be a push to utilize UX Design for an EHR built around clinical workflow. Current systems expect workflow to revolve around a system designed for billing.

@JeromeAdamsMD As a pharmacist with a Master's in Health Informatics, I wonder why the chain pharmacies don't use data to check for interactions b/tw Rx & OTC meds. Buy a bottle of aspirin and you get spammed to buy more, but no check to see if you are on warfarin.

I tried ChatGPT for the first time. It was ironic that I had to do the "I Am Not a Robot" test to talk to what is essentially a robot. Very impressive technology though!
