Work Life Balance for Speech Pathologists: Mindful Time Management Tips for Therapists, Clinicians, & Private Practice Owners

107. Stop Running Late to Your Life: Use This Strategy


Listen Later

Ever feel like you’re sprinting through your entire day—only to collapse when you get home because you've got nothing left to give? 

In this episode, we’re talking Buffer Time: the unsexy but essential productivity strategy you’re probably skipping. Especially if you’re an SLP with back-to-back sessions or a parent trying to herd small humans into the car without losing your mind.

We’ll get into:

  • What buffer time actually is (spoiler: it’s not “wasted” time)
  • Why it’s especially important if you have ADHD or chronically underestimate how long things take
  • The mindset traps that sabotage your schedule (like “I don’t have time for buffer time”)
  • Real-life ways to build margin into your day—even if you don’t control your whole schedule

Buffer time isn’t about being lazy. It’s about being realistic. It’s the simplest way to stop running late to your own life—and it’s one of the best gifts you can give your future self (and your stress levels).
