This Week’s Episode: How to Increase Productivity by Building your Core Materials for Speech-Language Pathologists
I’m am so excited to start this month’s podcast series all about productivity! Let’s be honest, sometimes we get so wrapped up in all of the materials that we’ve gathered over the years and we fall down a rabbit hole.
I was sort of “forced” to build my core materials when I switched jobs and move out of state. The school that I moved to didn’t have many materials available. There were some… but not many. At first, it was terrifying but it quickly became eye-opening once I realized that my productivity was much higher once I built my core materials and didn’t have to shuffle through extra “fluff”.
In this podcast episode, I share some tips on how I was able to rebuild my core materials and discard others. Taking the time to build your core materials library will save you so much time! Your future SLP self will thank you. Ready to dejunk and find a good balance of core materials for your caseload?
Alrighty! Let’s get to it!
