Refreshing How-To's of Time Management

Randy Pausch on Time Management - lecture delivered in Nov. 2007

"More than 6 million people have viewed Carnegie Mellon computer science professor Randy Pausch's "How to Achieve Your Childhood Dreams" on YouTube . In his lecture, the terminally-ill 47-year old Carnegie Mellon professor provides realistic advice on how you can live your life so that you can make your childhood dreams come true. Equally compelling is Pausch's lecture on "Time Management" -- an entertaining, empowering, and poignant "how-to" that distills the best of Covey, Allen and others into a plan that anyone can follow."

Evidence-based Algorithm to Make EBM Search Method Easier

Kendal, Sandra. Evidence-based resources simplified. Can Fam Physician Vol. 54, No. 2, Feb 2008, pp.241 - 243 . http://www.cfp.ca/cgi/content/full/54/2/241

The algorithm or EBM decision tool described helps clinicians find and choose the best resources to answer clinical questions. Resources are categorized into 4 "tiers" or levels of evidence with Tier 1 listing the resources with the highest level of filtered evidence such as BMJ Clinical Evidence and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews. Tiers 2 and 3 list resources in descending order of filtered evidence with Tier 4 listing unfiltered resources such as Medline and Embase. This EBM algorithm helps to make sense of the various tools and resources and reduces search time for both the student and the clinician.
