Libby explains that dietitians often make their biggest mistake when their practice starts working by increasing capacity before building sustainability. She distinguishes capacity (what you can handle at your maximum) from sustainability (what you can handle repeatedly without strain), and suggests a simple test: could you maintain your current pace comfortably for the next three months. If not, Libby says it’s a signal to add structure before expanding. She recommends making workflows repeatable (like using a consistent first-session flow), reducing decision fatigue with defaults (follow-ups, session structure, posting rhythm), and focusing on making the current load easier to maintain rather than adding more availability.
