Registrar to consultant, the job changes shape. Less doing, more being. So why do so many of us keep doing all of it anyway?

A coaching story about chasing a patient's scan, a waiting room, and the guilt of asking someone else to help — and why that guilt is worth pushing through.

THE SIGNAL 🩺 Patient sent back to the waiting room while the scan gets tracked down — laborious, repeated, patient after patient

🎯 "Top of registration": Sinsky & Bodenheimer on redistributing tasks to reduce burnout

🧠 The real cost of task-switching between admin and clinical thinking

😬 Why delegating can feel like guilt, not relief — and what that guilt is actually protecting THE RESET

✅ Sort your task list: "only I can do this" vs "this just always defaulted to me"

✅ Name the guilt out loud when you hand something off

✅ Run a Top of Registration Audit for one day

✅ Delegate one task this week, guilt and all The doing crowds out the being. Hand some of the doing back.
