Summary
Show Notes: slpnow.com/253 If you had five extra hours this week (completely protected from meetings, paperwork, and emails), how would you use them? Many school-based SLPs say they’d spend that time collaborating with teachers, analyzing student progress, planning more intentional therapy, or simply taking a real lunch break. In this episode, we explore why those meaningful parts of the job often get squeezed out + what you can do to start reclaiming that time. In this episode, we discuss: Why the gap many SLPs feel isn’t a competence problem How reducing rework can save hours of therapy planning each week Simple ways to batch decisions and reduce decision fatigue Why tracking your “invisible work” can help advocate for a more manageable workload If therapy planning, paperwork, and prep are taking over your evenings and weekends, you can start your free trial at slpnow.com/pod to explore tools designed to help you streamline the process and get that time back.
