The length of time between my posts is increasing, I know. Did I mention I recently had a baby daughter? She's doing fine, by the way, and I'm not laying the blame on her. Although, it would be easy to do and maybe even partially true.
The Wisconsin Badgers (I'm from Wisconsin) beat up on the Nebraska Corn Huskers Saturday night and I didn't learn of the score until this morning. We don't have cable at home and, when the wind is right, we only get two TV stations-CBS and NBC. The game was on ABC.
Why, you ask is such technically savvy guy like me, living without cable or satellite TV? First, off all I'm not all that tech savvy. Second, I waste a lot less time surfing two channels of mostly crap than I would 200 channels of mostly crap. I need to be more precise when I say I'm not tech savvy. The things I know about computers and databases I know well. Hardware and social media are largely beyond my ken. By choice.
Doctors for a while now have stopped being all things to all people-they specialize. The amount of knowledge is so vast and is changing and increasing so quickly it is impossible to manage it in too broad a field. Advances in technology have forced some people (well, at least me) to specialize. While Paul (Biblical reference) could be all things to all people but he didn't have to master social media and cloud computing.
With limited time available setting priorities becomes important. It's often harder to decide what to leave off my schedule than what to include on it. Having a list gives me ease of mind from knowing what I need to do next. At least until the baby pukes all over my clean shirt. I'm not blaming her. I'm just saying....
