From Overwhelmed to Intentional: The Power of One Hour
February 26, 2025
Time. It's the one thing we can't make more of, yet as Physician moms, we're expected to somehow stretch it infinitely. Between clinical responsibilities, family obligations, and basic self-care, the thought of adding anything else feels impossible.
The Reality of a Physician Mom's Schedule
You're juggling multiple full-time roles:
Clinical work, call schedules, and endless charting
Motherhood with its drop-offs, pickups, and daily routines
Partnership responsibilities and maintaining connections
Essential self-care and basic needs
The Transformative Investment
That one hour I initially resisted became the catalyst for complete transformation in my life. Today, my schedule looks radically different:
Peaceful mornings starting with meditation
Quality time with my children, including two-mile walks to school
Focused work hours Monday through Thursday
Protected family time in the evenings
Weekends entirely free from work
Running Life Like a True CEO
The key shift came from applying business principles to life management. Not as the exhausted "CEO of the home" handling every task, but as a true executive making strategic decisions and operating at the highest level of impact.
The Exercise Principle
Think about how we counsel patients about exercise: 30 minutes of daily movement creates more energy, better sleep, and enhanced productivity. Similarly, investing one hour in your personal development isn't just another task – it's a catalyst for improvement across all areas of life.
Creating Space Through Investment
This dedicated hour becomes:
Your anchor in a busy week
A sanctuary for self-connection
A space for intentional growth
An investment that pays dividends in every other hour
The Connected Motherhood Experience
This isn't about adding another commitment to your calendar. It's about creating a foundation that makes everything else flow more smoothly. When you're connected to yourself and your vision, every moment becomes more intentional and meaningful.
