So often, my clients come to me with some version of this question, "How am I supposed to _____ when I have all this other stuff to do?!?"

The answer is, you don't.

We have been lead to believe that we "should" be able to do it all, have it all, and be it all. I see parenting articles reference this fallacy all the time, particularly for Millennial Moms (Geriatric Millennial right here), who grew up thinking they should have a career, and be very involved in their kid's lives, without being able to multiply their time, and without the confidence to ask for help.

We all have the same 24 hours per day. And we all have to set our limits, and decide what our priorities are. It's true in the exam room, it's true in the hospital room, it's true at home.

In the episode, I reference this article, Primary care physicians need 26.7 hours a day for comprehensive care for patients, by Richard Payerchin from the August 8, 2022 edition of Medical Economics. Sometimes it is incredibly helpful for us to see that we literally do not have time to do everything we've been told to do. It gives one permission to let go, and decide what is  actually important.
