For those of you that know me well, I have been a paperless worker for over a decade now. I do most of my work electronically, like writing this blog post. Lately, however, I have been experimenting with an analogue day planner. It is called the Full Focus Planner based on the book by Michael Hyatt called Free to Focus… [ 373 more words ]

I'm an Apple tech convert. I use MacBook Pro, iPhone and iPad and I would love to get an Apple watch some day. I groan whenever I need to use the Microsoft Windows operating system because after you have used a Mac, you never look back. A while back, I discovered a weekly podcast called MPU (Mac Power Users) on Relay FM. [ 152 more words ]

The thing about a hero, is even when it doesn't look like there's a light at the end of the tunnel, he's going to keep digging, he's going to keep trying to do right and make up for what's gone before, just because that's who he is. ~ Joss Whedon

I watched an online video interview of Seth Godin recently. The interviewer asked him why he blogs daily. His response surprised me. He said that he blogs daily so that he is forced to really be present in his day. He is always looking for an insight or an interesting idea that he can write about. The discipline of daily writing forces him to pay attention. [ 37 more words ]

I recently watched an interesting video on TED talks about the business of making vaccines. Bottom line: Most of the world's scariest infectious diseases are not economically viable enough for companies to produce a vaccine. That's a little unsettling. Catherine

My thought for the day: Just Start

http://cvmccann.com/about-me/just-start/

One of the hardest things I do every day is start something. The second hardest thing I do is finish it.  The first difficulty relates to my well-practiced ability to procrastinate. The second is related to my perfectionism. Both are…

Every day I learn something about myself and my pharmacist practice. I keep a Pharmacy Practice journal to reflect on my day. What went well? What could have been better? What do I need to learn? Talking to patients is a privilege. It's also an art. I'm naturally empathic toward patients, but I need to work on being focused on the person in the moment when I talk to them.

I've found that over the last few months, I've been unable to find the time to write for my email letter or for my blog. Today, I finally had some time to ponder some changes to my writing process. I still want to write and publish regularly, but the time commitment for the email letter, which I used to send weekly, has become too onerous. [ 89 more words. ]
