We sometimes got stuck no matter we were new to the profession or even at junior or senior level. At the Southern Chapter of the Medical Library Association (SC/MLA) Annual Meeting last week, Rachel Singer Gordon gave a wonderful speech about how to get unstuck when difficult episodes appeared. Here are her 12 strategies to get unstuck:
- Set goal: realistic and small objectives
- Address your own mindset: identifying negative thoughts and what drew you to the profession
- Identify and overcome obstacles
- Defeat the status with bias: trying one little change every week
- Defeat procrastination: go back to your goals
- Get by with a little help from your friends
- Keep learning and innovating
- Cultivate resilience and neoteny (carry youthful characteristic into adulthood)
- Go around if you can't go forward
- Realize that change is inevitable
- Be proactive: don't sit around waiting
- Work from a place of personal and professional power: realize your value and skills
