As a lactation consultant, you’re keeping track of so much. Client care, running a business, keeping up with social media, and staying current with your clinical training can become overwhelming, and sometimes important things slip through the cracks. 

Leah and Annie share the techniques they use to get organized and increase productivity to align their personal and business priorities to free up mental space and enjoy work and life.

“I do think it’s important for us to think about the things that we do want to have balance in our lives in and put that into our productivity too.”

In this episode, we will cover:

• Time blocking is a great way to focus on one task at a time while allowing yourself some mental rest within the structure.
• Bullet journaling is a freeform way to keep up with tasks and can take whatever form or function works best for you.
• Using productivity techniques helps you maintain a good work-life balance and prioritize the important over the urgent.

This episode is sponsored by the Breastfeeding Without Birthing Professional Pack, launching 10/1/19 with special intro pricing through 10/8.
