Description

Physician burnout is real—and it’s costing doctors their time, energy, and careers. Chart Less, Live More is the podcast for physicians who are ready to stop surviving medicine and start thriving in it.

Hosted by board-certified internist, pediatrician and physician entrepreneur Dr. Junaid Niazi, this podcast offers practical strategies for streamlining your charting, reclaiming your time, and building a sustainable career in medicine—without sacrificing patient care or personal well-being.

We cover topics like:

-Real-time documentation and charting as you go

-Reducing EMR overload and after-hours charting

-Overcoming internal barriers like perfectionism and workflow paralysis

-How charting inefficiencies contribute to physician burnout—and how to fix them

-The connection between charting, burnout, and the physician shortage

-Real-world tactics to increase productivity, improve patient flow, and leave work on time

Whether you’re a primary care doc, specialist, or hospitalist, this show will help you create margin in your day, avoid burnout, and finally get your evenings and weekends back.

If you're a physician looking to take control of your documentation, your time, and your career, you’re in the right place.

New episodes drop weekly. Subscribe today and start practicing medicine on your own terms.
