A Day in the Life
December 8, 2014
7:30AM -8AM
Woke up, got dressed, and checked my email.
8AM -10AM
Went to Stone Mountain for my weekly hike. This is what gets my creative juices flowing.
10AM-11AM
Prepped for my speaking engagement on helping couples heal from past infidelity. My 3 city tour is coming up next week, and I can't wait. YAY! I love to travel and meet new people.
11AM-12PM
Put the finishing touches on my upcoming webinar about infidelity. I'm excited about reaching a broader audience, but also a bit nervous. Hope it goes well.
12PM-1PM
Wrote psychological reports while eating lunch (Thought- I need to hire a psychometrist; time to build that team).
2PM-7PM
Saw 5 clients (one each hour). That's my limit. Anymore, and I start to question my effectiveness.
7pm
Headed home. Listened to a few business podcasts on the way from my private practice.
7:45PM
Made it home and kissed husband. Aww, I missed him.
8PM-10PM
Ate dinner. Since my husband works from home, he made dinner. Yay:) Cuddled together while watching Law and Order. Checked email.
10PM- 11PM
Read Bible and took a shower.
11PM
Went to sleep.

As healers, we genuinely like to do our work. Guiding clients through the therapy process and seeing them make progress is why we do what we do. But if you're in private practice, you know there's a lot going on in the back end and that it's crucial to run an efficient and organized business.
