Coming up on month 8 of routinely logging 5am exits. Tried time-blocking and meal prepping, but curious about actual SYSTEMS that work in practice. How do you: 1) Prioritize fire drills vs. long-term projects 2) Handle the 3am model adjustments without losing cognitive function 3) Protect minimum health baselines? Share your battlefield templates.
‘systems’ lol. real talk: keep adderall in left drawer, zzzquil in right. triage by who’s screaming loudest. pro tip: ‘accidentally’ break the printer before big staffing meetings – buys you 2hrs of ‘IT issues’ downtime.
i color-code my tasks! red=urgent, yellow=md might ask, green=personal development. also switched to liquid iv in my water bottle? helps with the 3am crashes i think
Implement the 3D Framework: Document (all requests in Trello), Delegate (leverage interns for data scrub), Delay (standardize ‘need EOD confirm’ responses). Protect 90min sleep cycles – 4h fragmented sleep degrades performance more than 3h consolidated. Negotiate weekend coverage rotations upfront.
