Writing Process:
Most of my nursing career has been in Endoscopy, so the "verbal constipation" phrase really caught my eye as we attempt to write a draft of papers!!! This was a nice, concise explanation of the writing process.
Kaizen:
I was especially interested in this topic regarding Kaizen, as I am about to participate in an actual Kaizen within my departments!! I was not familiar with this word until about a month ago. Your description is absolutely clear and I can relate it so well to my work situation. We have already submitted a list of participants and are in the planning stages of the event. I am working with a consultant to break down the steps involved in the surgical process. ie the patient goes to the MD office, PreAdmission Testing, Holding (day of surgery), Operating Room, PACU (Recovery Room) The outcome or goal is to improve the efficiency for the patient moving through this entire process. I really enjoyed reading your description and didn't really know the "big picture" of the project yet, but now am more informed. Thanks
Procrastination:
I usually do not have much of a problem with procrastination, since I am quite the opposite. I usually drive myself crazy trying to "get it all done." Motivation has never been a problem for me. I have been challenged though, with this new concept of an on line class. The technology has challenged me and I will be greatly relieved once it is all more comfortable for me to use. I am not use to having to resource others in order to get my work completed. Asking a young adult daughter to assist me is not only humbling, but she is very inpatient for some reason. I have tried to equate this to the fact that I am a constant "Mother and Nurse" resource to every member of the family!! Anyway, the only other thing that I have been known to procrastinate about is exercise. I enjoy walking, but do not put it as a top priority, as I have so many "mandatory" responsibilities. Your tips were helpful on this subject. It also made me thankful for my obsessive personality and the fact that I usually do not struggle with this problem! I typically fall under the self-destructive mode.
I have actually saved the articles about the Ten steps to writing and the 24 hr librarian, as I think that they will be helpful to me in the future!

When it comes to procrastination and motivation, I feel the same way you do. I don't procrastinate at all. When something needs to be done, I jump on it right now. I guess what motivates me is knowing that once it's done and out of the way, I don't have to worry and stress about it anymore.
