Today's episode of Lactation Business Coaching with Annie and Leah is all about life hacks. For IBCLC's, being able to do things faster and with less stress translates to a better job done.

As an IBCLC, there are several key aspects where life hacks shine—from taking care of your body to managing your business logistics to nurturing your emotional and spiritual needs, there are ways to get around the overwhelm and make sure you tick off everything from that list.

"What's the next right move that I can do? What's right here in front of me? What can I accomplish at this minute, not the 5,000 things that are on the list that you're never going to get to. You know, just stay really, really present. That helps so much with overwhelm."

In this episode, we will cover:

• Packing some lunch and staying hydrated
• Bathroom breaks and rest - how to incorporate this in your day
• Exercise
• Logistics: Replying, scheduling & driving around
• Emotional and spiritual needs
• Annie’s Tech Tip: Using G-Suite for managing and scheduling appointments
• Leah’s Marketing Tip: How to avoid feeling overwhelmed
