How NOT to get behind

SLP stop getting behind, slp burnout, slp stress, speech language pathologist, energy drain, strategies for not getting behind

SLPs, Medicaid billing, therapy notes?? ugh

Top strategies to STOP falling behind

Although the strategies are recommended for daily therapy notes…

BONUS- you can apply these to anything you tend to “get behind on.”

Work stuff-evaluations, IEPs, schedules…

Personal stuff- exercise, cleaning, paying bills…

6 Strategies:

1. Do them in chunks daily or throughout your day.

2. Make it non-negotiable.

3. Pair it down to the essentials– Write no more than 3 sentences. (Mine are 1-2)

4. Give yourself a very finite amount of time to do them; powerfully decide on a hard stopping point.

5. Purposefully and proactively plan something fun or nourishing (for yourself) after, so you are motivated to get it done in the time you allot. Take 5-10 minutes- Don’t skip this part.

BONUS:

Ironically-

Perfectionist/ procrastinator brains (aka SLP brains) are reluctant to try a strategy due to self judgement, self loathing, (conscious or unconscious)

… that’s why I love the strategy of

6… doing it badly…

Yup, you let yourself… Do. It. Badly

So when your (self-critical) brain says- “stop, this is terrible”

you say- yep, that’s what I’m doing,

I’m doing it badly

Point is -YOU’RE DOING IT

game-changer

YOU-WIN (at life)

Leave work.

Be fabulous.

Love,

Angie
