Let’s kick it off with our first question about #procrastination #LASMedical https://t.co/QhkcbLyZHI
Rachel Lewin @MedEdUnicorn
You’re all missing the #LASMedical tweetchat, happening RIGHT NOW. Come talk about procrastibaking with us!
Rachel Lewin @MedEdUnicorn
@LAS_Inc_ R1: I know that personally procrastination is something I do when I’m avoiding/dreading a task, like writing a paper. #LASMedical

@ShereesePubHlth Yes, absolutely. Our students definitely procrastinate more as they approach big scary deadlines/events #LASMedical

@ShereesePubHlth Are you able to complete everything when you procrastinate? I know that personally I sometimes both procrastinate and incorrectly estimate how long something will take me, which creates a time problem #LASMedical
Hui-wen (Alina) Sato @alinasato
@LAS_Inc_ A1: Sometimes procrastination in my life follows the classic intent of avoiding, but other times I have time to do whatever the thing is, but I know I can't do it well in that particular time (often bc the kids are nuts around me = no focus), so I don't. It's tricky. #LASMedical

@alinasato Yes! This actually segues perfectly into our next question, which is about the differences (if there are differences) between procrastinating and prioritizing. #LASMedical

@alinasato @LAS_Inc_ Procrastination often impacts my life because the students and residents I am supporting are contending with task avoidance. Sometimes this means they are late or miss appointments. #LASMedical

I can't take credit for this, but there are differences between procrastinating and prioritizing. Our students/residents often know what they need to do but they don't prioritize it. #LASMedical https://t.co/KWmpNP3DNR

Since @alinasato already took us here, I’m going to throw out Q2 about prioritization. How is prioritizing different (or the same) as procrastinating? #LASMedical https://t.co/M9vw7QX0cf

@lorenlas1 And also I think we often do both at the same time—prioritize the immediately relevant task, while using that prioritization to procrastinate on something scarier/harder #LASMedical
Loren Deutsch 😷 @lorenlas1
@LAS_Inc_ @alinasato A2: I tend to prioritize what's important. Assuming I know how to do a given task, I get it done. However, some of our students and residents (although very bright) don't know how to start or sequence a task and this leads to procrastination. #LASMedical

@lorenlas1 @LAS_Inc_ Yes! I know this is true for me personally—e.g. working on a project where I don’t understand the statistics is MUCH harder to motivate myself to start than a project where I know how to execute the steps #LASMedical
Hui-wen (Alina) Sato @alinasato
@LAS_Inc_ A2: Timeline/urgency for work/presentation deadlines def guide many decisions. But sometimes it's the Q of, "What is my true identity" and "What will I regret/what do I not want to regret at the end of the day"? Did I honor God and love the most impt ppl to me? #LASMedical

@alinasato This is a really great point—very hard to get things done when you aren’t personally connected to the work. I think that’s a big thing for our students prepping for high stakes standardized tests #LASMedical
Loren Deutsch 😷 @lorenlas1
@alinasato @LAS_Inc_ A2: I think there is also the risk of failing at the task. If a lot of time goes into doing something and it doesn't work, the risk might be great. If the task is procrastinated and it doesn't work, the risk might be less impactful. #LASMedical
Hui-wen (Alina) Sato @alinasato
@LAS_Inc_ I learned thru the intensity of a TEDxTalk prep, followed shortly by 3 work presentations, that I could not talk about the things I talk about in public if I allow my personal life and relns to fall to shambles. Then it's just not real and it's not worth it. #LASMedical

@LAS_Inc_ @alinasato With our students and residents I think they do feel personally connected, maybe not to the practice questions, but definitely to the work involved in medicine. I think there is a lot at stake. Imposter syndrome #LASMedical

Here’s Q3! @alinasato already hinted at this one #LASMedical https://t.co/A9byuahqwQ
Hui-wen (Alina) Sato @alinasato
@lorenlas1 @LAS_Inc_ There is a time and place for sacrifices to be made on the part of all involved, but I think as long as the big picture priorities are kept in the right place in the long run, then ppl can weather the sacrifices more gracefully. #LASMedical

@LAS_Inc_ A3: Family is a given bc my girls still aren't school-aged so I'm always w them if not at work...but to be my best (introverted) self, I have to actually actively pull away even from family and create personal space so I am not so depleted and grouchy. #LASMedical
Loren Academic Services, Inc. (LAS) @LAS_Inc_
@alinasato That’s definitely true, but we *try* to help the people we work with to manage most of those things well. Maybe you can’t do all of that super frequently, but generally it can be done a little #LASMedical
