How to be more…”Productive”

SLP productivity, stress, burnout, damage Speech Pathologists, productivity

PRODUCTIVITY (is bullshit)⁠ ⁠

well- because most SLPs (and bosses and companies) have super weird and impossible definitions of productivity. ⁠ ⁠

(thanks healthcare and educational systems)😐⁠ ⁠

I gave one of my clients the assignment to REDEFINE the word productive for herself⁠. ⁠

Most people use the word “productive” as a weapon to beat up on themselves⁠.

⁠Here’s the fun inner-dialog (drastically abridged version):⁠ ⁠

“be more, do more, c’mon everyone else is- why can’t I? Well I have a ton of shit to do and….oh yeah, there’s something wrong with me and I’m not good- (unless i get more done) I should be doing something productive.”

Inadvertently damaging your ability to be an SLP (and person).

🛑 ⛔️ STOP ⛔️ 🛑

NOOOOOOOOOOO.⁠ ⁠ You’re wrong about you here. ⁠ ⁠

There’s nothing wrong with you.⁠ ⁠

You are a human, my love⁠ ⁠

❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Who absolutely needs rest, relaxation and goof off time⁠ ⁠and ⁠ ⁠

omg… guess what⁠– ⁠

The better I get at giving myself rest, relaxation, and goof off time

…and having a lot of fucking fun??

The more I actually get done⁠ ⁠

wtaf??? right!? I know!? ⁠ ⁠

You got this. ⁠ ⁠

Put true rest, relaxation and goof off time in your schedule.

Nope, it won’t work to just think about doing it.

You actually gotta do that part.

Let me know how it goes.

Love,

Angie

P.S. You can get a ton of free books, workbooks and videos of my talks on getting your time and energy back by joining my free facebook group. It’s easier than you think. “I don’t feel near as much dread as I used to” – That’s what one of my group members just messaged me after going through the free resources in the group. Yes- an entire course on a facebook group, plus access to me to ask any questions.

Less dread= more energy, more energy=feeling better, feeling better=making more positive decisions for yourself… making more positive decisions for yourself=a powerful momentum that starts to easily pull you toward the exact life you want- only even better than you can imagine. Get in the group. Stick with it. If you need more help- schedule an SLP life coaching consultation.
