She tackled the ubiquitous challenge of managing email overload. Jenny shares her personal approach, emphasizing the importance of setting boundaries and establishing designated times for email correspondence. She advocates for a systematic folder system to prioritize and manage incoming messages effectively.

Lastly, Jenny explores the significance of boundaries in maintaining a healthy work-life balance. While acknowledging the varying preferences among professionals regarding accessibility, she highlights the importance of enforcing personal boundaries to prevent burnout and enhance productivity.

Throughout the episode, Jenny encourages listeners to experiment with implementing one strategy at a time, recognizing the incremental nature of habit formation. Additionally, she extends an invitation to join The Prepared School Psychologist Community, offering additional resources and support for educators seeking to improve time management skills.
