In this special episode of "Your Speech Path," I'm sharing a Facebook training I offered in my SLP Support Group on Facebook. Want to level up your workflow? Pop into the SLP Support Group on Facebook and WATCH as I show you my very own workflow.

I share my personal approach to workflows, emphasizing the importance of reducing decision fatigue, transitioning into work mode, and optimizing efficiency.

I outline a step-by-step process to help you create your own workflow. Starting with a brain dump of all your work tasks, I encourage listeners to be specific and honest about their time allocation. Next, I discuss the importance of identifying patterns in your tasks and grouping them together based on what makes sense for your workflow.

Moving on to step three, I highlight the significance of plugging tasks into your schedule, starting with standing appointments and considering factors like energy levels and deadlines. Step four focuses on deciding how to house your workflow, whether through project management systems like MeisterTask or simpler methods like written planners.

In step five, I emphasize the importance of actually using the workflow, tracking time spent on tasks, and making adjustments as needed. Lastly, in the bonus step six, I stress the value of revisiting and modifying the workflow to ensure it remains effective and aligned with your goals.

During the episode, I shared a detailed walkthrough of my own workflow using MeisterTask, showcasing how I categorize tasks, allocate time, and track progress. I emphasize the flexibility and simplicity of the system, encouraging listeners to find a method that works best for them and supports their productivity.
