75: The $52,000 You Donate Every Year - LYWAW Sessions 2 & 3

75: The $52,000 You Donate Every Year - LYWAW Sessions 2 & 3

Author: Dr. Junaid Niazi August 25, 2026 Duration: 18:29

In this episode, Dr. Junaid shares highlights from sessions two and three of his live training Leave Your Work at Work, focusing on the hidden costs of after-hours charting and practical strategies to reclaim physician time. He breaks down how the average struggling physician donates roughly $52,000 worth of unpaid work annually, walks through why decision fatigue makes charting at 9 PM exponentially harder than finishing notes immediately after visits, how CMS regulations actually support leaner documentation than most physicians believe, and why longer notes create more legal liability, not less. The episode closes with details about his group coaching program Charting Conquered, which starts September 8th. Register for Charting Conquered
