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

121. Why Documentation Feels Impossible (and What to Do About It)


Listen Later

If the word documentation makes your eye twitch, you’re not alone.
In this episode, I unpack why staying caught up on notes, IEPs, and reports feels so hard—especially for those of us with ADHD—and what you can actually do about it. This isn’t about shame or hustle; it’s about understanding your brain, working with it, and ditching the “perfect system” that never lasts longer than a week.

What You’ll Learn

  • Why documentation drains your energy (it’s not just about time).
  • How executive functioning skills like initiation and prioritization impact your ability to get started.
  • The sneaky trap of “productive procrastination” and how to spot it.
  • ADHD-friendly strategies to make documentation simpler, faster, and more forgiving.
  • The mindset shift that turns documentation from a stressor into a manageable routine.
