    Many of us enjoy our mid afternoon coffee breaks. That jolt of energy is quite often needed, and it often brings with it a little time for socialization, allowing for some self care time. However, because of the pressures of the job, we don't always get around to that much anticipated coffee break. That's why it is crucial that Social Workers and other helping professionals are very intentional about how they organize their schedules and how they prioritize the things that go on that schedule. This podcast talks a little about those topics. If you want to be one of the free beta testers of a new resource I am developing for Social Workers to take charge of their schedules in a way that identifies all of the important stuff and gets things done efficiently, email me at info@socialworkmentor.com and put "Organize Prioritize Beta" in the subject line. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/socialworkmentor/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/socialworkmentor/support
