I used to tell my kids to walk with a sense of purpose when they were dilly dallying. Come on; this is an intentional activity. Dentistry, too, is an intentional activity: I'm walking into work, I've looked at my schedule, I know what's coming. Dentistry is a stressful career. While I know how to handle stress, I'd rather lower stress and increase productivity.

Today we're going to talk about what walking with a sense of purpose means and how being keenly aware of what's going on, where you're needed, and what is coming affects your productivity.
