You’ve probably spent a lot of time (see what I did there 😉) trying to master your schedule... but what if time isn’t the problem?
In this episode I'm unpacking the difference between time management and energy management — and why your to-do list may feel impossible even if you technically have the time to get it all done.
\Spoiler alert: It's not just about time. It's about how you feel in the time you have.
Whether you’re a private practice owner, school-based SLP, or balancing multiple roles at work and home, this episode will help you shift the way you think about productivity — especially if you’re neurodivergent or often find yourself overcommitted, under-energized, and overwhelmed.
Here's What I'm Covering in This Episode:
- The real difference between time management and energy management
- Why “more time” isn’t always the answer (and what to focus on instead)
- Common signs you’re ignoring your energy — and what it’s costing you
- Why neurodivergent brains especially struggle with managing energy
- 3 simple strategies to start managing your energy (not just your time)
- What a productive day actually looks like (hint: it’s not about crossing everything off)
