4 Things You Should Add To Your Schedule

Listen to the full episode below: 

As busy school counselors, our time is incredibly valuable! So how can we ensure that we are making the most of it? We’ve previously discussed the importance of completing a time audit but there is another way that I have found to be incredibly helpful in finding time to get everything in during contract horse.

We set aside time on our calendars for so many things but there are some things you may not be scheduling in that can be super helpful. When we set aside time dedicated to specific tasks, it helps to keep us organized and from getting distracted when we should be doing something else. So today, I am sharing four things that you should be putting on your schedule, why it’s important to schedule them, and how this would look when implemented.

I am so passionate about helping school counselors figure out scheduling and how to make the biggest impact with their time.
