Returned from a quick trip to Moab.  What an incredible place.  I remain excited about the future for what the year is to bring.  I know there is still a lot of uncertainty which makes planning difficult but overall I believe the overall outlook has improved.  Now it is time to get my priorities straight and to anticipate what I want in the next few years.  The keys to winning the week

• Exercise daily
• Check out the St. Marks clinic and try to get an idea of what the University Contract has to offer
• eat healthy
• study for boards on a daily basis

If I can accomplish the above I feel that I have taken a step closer to completing my goals for the year

I bring more good news.  Jessica is likely to have a contract with in the week.  I should hopefully have a couple in the next few weeks as well so that we can secure our positions here in SLC.  I realize I have become more focused doing the miracle morning routine and for the most part my day is more efficient because of it.  I need to keep it up and need to maintain this momentum into my career. 

I will have to focus on continuing to do the best of my ability.  To be the best nephrologist will take hard work, studying.  In terms of hard outcomes this should include

• Passing Boards
• finishing fellowship
• completing my publication
• being comfortable with the physiology
• improving my pathology knowledge

Life is getting more straight forward.  We have a good idea where we will be in the coming year.  The details still need to be hashed out.  Ideally once this gets squared away I can start working on getting cash flow through other means such as real-estate.  I am building my knowledge base to prepare for this in the future. I am excited for the months to come

The job search situation has become more promising.  I have received verbal commitments from two Nephrology groups here in SLC.  I have also received a contract from the Nephrology group in Des Moines Iowa which was a fair contract.

I now need to focus on the tasks for the week.  I need to complete all IFC/econsults that have been asked of me.  I will also need to prepare for the afternoon clinic today as well.

Ultimate goals for the week -->

1. continue to maintain exercise regimen
2. continue to eat healthy
3.  continue the Miracle morning strategy
4. continue to learn on a daily basis --> I will complete board preparation material on a daily basis

Another day another blog.  The Miracle morning has improved my daily efficiency.  I do look forward to waking up in the AM which is additional incentive to start the day.  I am exercising more regularly and eating somewhat better.  I was able to accomplish quite a bit yesterday including clinic, call, moonlighting, to name some of the stuff.  I believe journaling will help me become a better writer in the long run so I will try to keep this up to the best of my ability.

Things I would like to accomplish in the next year include the following:
-pay off my debt --> with consideration of refinancing debt
-max out 401k
-invest in rental properties here in SLC.  to accomplish this I will need to create a list

This is my second miracle morning.  This week is an important week for me.   From here I will be able to find the future that awaits me.  Two potential job opportunities.  I will need to be on my game, ready to answer questions when asked of me.  I look forward to these interviews since I have been preparing for the past 10 years for this.  Staying in Salt Lake City would be good for many reasons.  For starters this is an excellent place to live with several vacation/national parks.  The city is incredible, with easy transportation, notably a growth market with low unemployment.  Finally it is close to family plus we already own a home here.  Key things I need to accomplish today,
