Paul, here's how my wife trained me:
She asked me "How many patients CAN you see and chart on in the morning? How many patients CAN you see and chart on in the evening?" I told her, and she said, "Schedule that many patients."
Once I started doing it, I found that I could see a few more than I thought, because the closer to the actual encounter time, the more efficient you are (details are sharp, and your energy is at its peak).
This is a much more peaceful way to practice medicine, doing a day's work in a day, not leaving any charts behind.
