  • 35: Triage Like a Medic - PACT for Your In-Basket & Refills

    In this episode, Dr. Junaid discusses borrowing battlefield triage to tame chaotic clinic in-baskets, introducing the PACT system. He emphasizes the “chart as you go” approach to prevent cognitive debt and offers a clear refill protocol—Extend, Bridge, Review—to reduce back-and-forth and expedite safe decisions. If you’re tired of your in-basket feeling like a battlefield, this episode will help you reclaim control, clarity, and time for life beyond the clinic.

  • 34: Breached Defenses - What to Do When Charts Invade Home

    This episode is your practical playbook for when charts follow you home. Dr. Junaid walks you through a humane evening flow: refuel and reconnect, define exactly what “done” means, time-box a short sprint, surf procrastination urges for 60–90 seconds, and reward the wins before a clear shutdown ritual. It’s evidence-informed, guilt-free, and designed to help you return to being a person who happens to practice medicine, not a charting machine.

  • 31: The Space Between 3 - Jedi Mind Tricks for Real Life

    In the final chapter of Dr. Junaid’s Viktor Frankl trilogy, this episode explores what really happens when you step into the “space between stimulus and response.” Dr. Junaid breaks down how pausing to notice, label, and reframe your thoughts literally rewires your brain through neuroplasticity, helping you move from autopilot reactions to intentional choices. Through real-life examples, he shows how curiosity and self-compassion engage the prefrontal cortex, strengthen emotional control, and create lasting change.

  • 26: Running a Marathon in Crocs - The Lone Wolf Charting Strategy

    Think you’re the only one drowning in charts? Or that you’re just “bad at charting”? Or maybe that if you just worked harder, you’d finally get on top of it? In this episode of Chart Less, Live More, Dr. Junaid unpacks three common beliefs that keep physicians and APPs from conquering their charts: “I’m the only one with this problem,” “I’m the problem,” and “I can do it alone.” With humor, real-life scenarios, and research on burnout, habit change, and the broken EMR system, he shows why none of these beliefs are true and how shifting them can be the first step toward reclaiming your evenings, your weekends, and your sanity.
