Vent: I just hit 1,000 hours of continuing education credits and realized half of it was for stuff I'll never actually use.
I was cleaning out my license renewal folder and saw the total, which felt like a huge waste of money and time on trendy treatments that fizzled out before I even finished the course.

Ugh, that's the worst feeling... I hit a similar wall a few years back. I started being super picky and only picking courses that solved a problem I was actually seeing that week in my practice. It cut my credits way down, but at least now I remember what I learned because I used it right away. The shiny new thing is almost always a trap.

Shiny new thing is almost always a trap" is so true. It's like we're all scared of missing out on some magic fix that will finally make everything easy. But then you're just left with a bunch of half finished courses and no real skill. Picking stuff based on a real problem you have right now is the only filter that works. It forces you to actually finish it because you need the answer. Everything else is just noise.
