In todays blog, we speak to Dr Rupa Wong about her new course, "Time Management for Women in Medicine"-
You know how we were taught in Med school to pile things on, one on top of another, and simply get it all done? How would you feel if I told you this doesn?t have to be the case? That there is a different, better way we can look at our time.
Thrilled to say that Rupa, founder of The Attending Lounge, created Time Management for Women in Medicine, to teach us just the skills and mindset to do that!
This complete program teaches women physicians all the things you need to know about time management. By the end of this program, you will have actionable strategies to implement in your daily life, in order to reclaim your time and enjoy the freedom to spend it how you wish!

Rupa answered some questions.
Why you are doing what you are doing?
Through my 13 years as a private practice owner and mom, I've come to recognize the importance of time management. As busy women in medicine, we tend to take on task after task, which results in us feeling overcommitted and overburdened. I think part of reducing burnout for women physicians is learning how to be effective about our time. Central is that is recognizing the tasks and priorities which should be accomplished and those that should be eliminated from our never ending To-Do lists.
What was the idea behind your product?
I was recently featured on People.com and I received so many messages from women asking how I can balance it all. I'm not special, I'm not Super Woman. But I am extremely intentional about how I use my time and I realized this is a skill set that needs to be taught to other women in medicine so that they can create the life they want, harmonizing work and family.
How did you get started?
Time management has been an obsession of mine for many years, ever since a practice consultant first introduced me to the concept of the Eisenhower Matrix. I launched a membership site for pre-meds and med students last summer, so I was familiar with creating lessons and video masterminds. I applied the same principles in creating a course outline for managing time, specific to women physicians and the matters we deal with daily.
What were the pitfalls along the way?
Impostor Syndrome rears its ugly head constantly and overcoming my own limiting beliefs about the success (or failure) of this course was a potential pitfall which could have derailed me. Sometimes I had to accept good enough and not just edit the videos one more time!
What would you do differently?
Nothing! I'm extremely happy with how the course turned out and I think it will prove to be a valuable resource.
