appy Memorial Day Weekend!




Happy Friday of a long weekend! What are you doing this weekend?
Growing up we spent this weekend as the kick-off for the summer, at our cottage. It is an hour north of my parents’ home in Michigan on a chain of four lakes. The cottage is one of my favorite places, we have boats, 4-wheeler, my little garden, campfires, Tigers baseball games, swimming in the lake with the dogs, and lots of fun. I sleep the best, and the longest, as the cottage. We battle over the “corner pocket” of the “L” shaped couch. It is the most comfortable spot in the cottage and even if you are wide awake as soon as you sink into the corner you automatically pass out.
I am looking forward to going home in a few weeks, for a couple of days, and may try to sneak up to the cottage for a night. I am going to go home for a week, alone, later in eh summer so that I can spend an official weekend there.
This Memorial Day weekend however, I am spending getting organized. Our practice is closed on Monday however since we’re at a conference the following Friday / Saturday there is a lot to get accomplished! With so many additional responsibilities in my schedule on top of the practice, I am blocking off time each week for each organization I am a part of, in order to manage my responsibilities.
We always say “I am too busy” but are we really? How much time do you personally waste on the internet, on facebook, watching TV, and just lounging around? We do all need time to “space out” but I believe we need to get clear and focused so that when we do work it is optimized. I believe with my new block schedule I can meet all my responsibilities with all of my organizations, have enough prep time for the practice, and be laser focused when I am with patients.

Have a wonderful, fun, safe long weekend!

In Love & Light,
Dr. Elizabeth Wisniewski
