The inverse relationship of efficiency and resilience

What does this have to do with us as health care workers? I often notice that my clients believe eliminating wasted time and space would be a benefit to their practice: “If only I was more efficient with my notes. If only I had fewer steps from my workspace to my patient room. If only I had more exam rooms or OR time.” These modifications are brilliant if they provide more space for the unexpected, but they can also rob us of our breathing room, our ability to absorb the ebbs and flows of taking care of people. The ability to bounce back. We all love to feel efficient and productive. But when does a focus on efficiency become too much? Some signs might include feeling overwhelmed, being short with staff and/or a low tolerance for the unexpected (running late, an add-on, a scheduling error, etc.
