YES!: Escaping the Tyranny of the Day: Make Space for What Matters to You – Part II with Christopher Sankey, MD
The first step in escaping the tyranny of the day is creating time. The second is ensuring that time is invested in work that truly matters. This session introduces the Alignment Matrix, a framework for evaluating professional opportunities through the lens of personal identity rather than urgency alone. Participants will explore how external expectations and internal motivations interact to shape career trajectories, identify common patterns that quietly erode fulfillment despite outward success, and learn practical approaches to making intentional decisions about where to invest their finite time and energy. The session emphasizes sustainable career development by helping faculty distinguish between being productive in their jobs and building careers that reflect who they aspire to become.
