I cover time management and mindset strategies so you can learn to love your work and your home life at the same time. Let's dive in.
Hello there, podcast listeners. Welcome to another episode.
Speaker 1:0:40
Today we're going to be talking about boundaries and I'm going to be doing a series of episodes on this topic Over the next. I think it's going to be about three, maybe, i think, three or four weeks, three or four episodes about boundaries. I've talked about boundaries on the show before, but since the rebrand, i really wanted to take another look at this topic and specifically talk about boundaries in a more I don't know narrow or focused way. What I decided to do was we're going to go through boundaries with regard to today, with regard to boundaries, in your schedule. Then in the coming weeks, we're going to be talking about boundaries in other areas as well. Today is specifically focusing on boundaries in your schedule and your calendar, the way that you spend your time each day. Then we'll be talking about boundaries in your private practice. We'll be talking about boundaries within yourself, so on and so forth. That is the plan for the next few weeks, which sounds, i think, pretty exciting. I think it's really important first to make sure that we have some sort of a definition of boundaries before we get into all of the challenges with boundaries, and then what you can do about them. In today's episode, what I'm going to lay out for you is first my definition, or the way that I view boundaries, how I think about them. Then we're going to talk about why you need them. Why are boundaries, in particular, boundaries in your schedule? why do we need boundaries in our schedule? I'll give you some examples of how you know if boundaries in your schedule are something that you struggle with. I'll walk you through what that might look like as a speech pathologist or a private practice owner, how you know if you're having some difficulty either establishing boundaries in your practice or executing them like holding to them, sticking to them Then the last thing we're going to dive into today is my favorite part the practical, tactical tips that you can take, things that you can actually start doing when it comes to creating and enforcing boundaries in your schedule to help you get some quick, easy wins. That's the plan for today's episode.
Speaker 1:3:31
Now, i've talked before about my definition of boundaries. I've done at least a couple of episodes about boundaries. We've talked about boundaries on many previous episodes, even if those weren't the primary topic. I think many of you might be new listeners, especially with the whole rebrand situation. This is your first time here today, then you might not know I just recently went through a rebrand. The previous episodes that I have recorded there were about 75 or so of them are most likely going to be coming down. I'm looking at lots of relaunching, i guess you could say, of topics that we've talked about in the past.
Speaker 1:4:24
Boundaries, in my mind, my definition of boundaries are decisions. They are decisions of what you will do or will not do in your day-to-day life that allow you to better serve yourself and others. In my mind, i think of boundaries as I don't want to say self-preservation, because that sounds a little extreme, but I do think about boundaries as being in my best interest. In some cases it might not be in other people's best interest and that's okay. We have this sort of I don't know. Many of us sort of think about boundaries or presume that boundaries are selfish. We think about boundaries as being selfish or being wrong. I really think that that mindset about boundaries prohibits us from being able to make decisions about how we want to spend our time in ways that serve us, in ways that fill us up. I don't expect anybody really I don't expect anybody else to be catering to me when it comes to making decisions about how they're spending their time. Certainly, there is give and take, and I don't mean to make it sound like everything is one-sided and you should only be concerned about yourself but at the end of the day, you have to make decisions that are in your best interest, because nobody else is going to do that for you. You're responsible for yourself.
Speaker 1:6:07
I think one of the reasons why boundaries get a bad rap is because of this all-or-nothing thinking. I talked about all-or-nothing thinking on last week's episode, but I think our brains just sort of trick us into thinking that well, if I make this boundary, then I can never deviate, i can never go against it, i can never make another choice. Then I have to take this boundary and I have to stick to it all the time. I don't know if I have the energy for it, i don't know if I want to do that and blah, blah, blah. It's like, okay, wait a second, slow down. We're just talking about one time that you're going to maybe execute this boundary or hold this boundary. I don't even know what the right word is when it comes to execute, hold, i'm not really sure, but hopefully you follow what I'm saying.
Speaker 1:6:56
I think the most important part about boundaries or at least one of the most important parts is identifying what they are for you, knowing what they are and allowing yourself the flexibility to use them or not in a way that serves and supports yourself. Just because you have a boundary does not mean you always have to choose it Does not mean you always have to hold to it. If you make that choice in advance and when I say choice, if you make your decision about your boundary, if you establish your boundary in advance, you at least have some forethought about when you're focused and you're making that decision from a place of. This is what I know is good for me, and this is what I'm doing rather than in the moment when something pops up on your schedule, say If you don't have that boundary in place, you don't have checks and balances, that system where you can go in and say is this something I should do or I want to do? blah, blah, blah.
Speaker 1:8:02
If you don't have a boundary in place, then you're going to be deciding how to spend your time from a place of I mean, i'm going to say spontaneity, but that's not the right word because that could spontaneity, could be a perfectly fine thing, but it's more of you're not making decisions with your highest level thinking when you're in the moment, many times right. So if you kind of have an idea in advance of what your boundaries are, then in the moment you can decide whether or not you want to honor them. So hopefully this will make more sense as we, as I keep going. Okay, but that is what I mean when I'm talking about boundaries And when we're talking about boundaries in your schedule. Now I'm specifically talking about how to have boundaries in your schedule and why you need them and all that type of thing. Right?
Speaker 1:9:03
I think that by having boundaries in place when it comes to how you schedule your time, you then have a greater sense of control. You have a greater sense of time authority, as I call it, or time ownership, where you are making decisions from a place of empowerment, you're making decisions about how you're spending your time from a place of higher level thinking That's just kind of the best way I can think of describing it And in doing so, in having these boundaries in place with your schedule, it can allow you, it can allow you to get more done in less time. Yes, like I will just say that, because that's what so many of you want, that's what I hear from so many people. It's oh, i need to get more done in a day. I just don't have enough time. I need to get this, this, this. If only I could get more done faster, which I have thoughts about that, but that's not the topic of today's episode.
Speaker 1:10:08
But, yes, boundaries in your schedule will allow you, or enable you, to get more done in less time. But, more importantly, boundaries in your schedule will allow you to do that with a lower risk of burnout, with a lower risk of unhappiness, resentment, exhaustion, frustration, overwhelm, all of those things, those negative emotions that we don't really want to feel. We try to avoid when we can right. So it creates boundaries in your schedule, create these circumstances to design your day and your weeks in ways that are in your best interest, and what I always say to my coaching clients is to focus on the things you can control, focus on the controllables. So, for those of you who are listening, if you own a private practice, your schedule and when it comes to setting boundaries in your schedule, your ability to do this and the way that that looks for you as a private practice owner, will be very different from someone who is not a private practice owner but maybe is an employee or a contractor who works in or for a private practice, or will be very different from a speech pathologist who works in the school setting. So the circumstances of your job, of your setting where you work, will influence, to a certain degree, your the amount of control and the type of control that you can execute when it comes to creating your schedule.
Speaker 1:11:49
Okay, so I just want to acknowledge that, because those of you who are listening might be listening and thinking well, i don't even make my own case loads. So what are you talking about? I can't do this. Stay with me, because I still have some, some strategies for you, yes, but also some thoughts for you to consider, to really identify maybe, some areas that you can control your schedule that haven't occurred to you or that you just haven't thought of. Okay, all right. So how do you know if you need boundaries in your schedule? How do you know if you, if this is something you struggle with? Some of you just know, right, some of you. This is not even a question that needs to be answered. You know that you don't have boundaries when it comes to your schedule, but here are some of the ways that this shows up for speech pathologists and I can't speak for occupational therapists or physical therapists, but I'm going to venture, i guess, that this probably shows up very similarly in those fields as well.
Speaker 1:12:54
So not having boundaries in your schedule or not holding your boundaries in your schedule might look like you saying yes to things that create resentment or create dread in your body when you think about doing them or when you are doing them. This might look like you bending the rules, air quotes, bending the rules on, let's say, the days of the week that you're going to treat, or the times of the day that you're going to treat, or the number of sessions that you might do in a day. This might look like you responding to calls or answering phone calls, responding to texts, checking and responding to emails after hours air quotes when you normally would be, when you're in the middle of doing something else, or when you normally are doing something else If it's with your family or maybe you're, you know, at your kid's baseball game or you're at a graduation ceremony. I just that came up in a session, in a coaching session last week, where a client was at a graduation ceremony for her son and was answering emails, was getting phone calls and emails from parents unhappy about something and wanting an answer for something else, and she was waiting for the ceremony to start. By the way, i'll be clear there. But she was upset, she was annoyed, it was frustrating, and so we had to talk about what, just kind of revisit what those boundaries are.
Speaker 1:14:31
Right, because boundaries are about not about controlling other people's behavior. It is not about controlling what your client does or what your boss does or what your employees do. It's about controlling how you react to it, how you respond to it or don't respond to it. Okay, so I should have mentioned that earlier, but that's a really important distinction. We're not setting boundaries to control what other people do. We're setting boundaries to control how we handle what other people do. Okay, i'll say that again We're not setting boundaries to control what other people do. We're setting boundaries to handle what other people do.
Speaker 1:15:16
Okay, so other things or other ways that this might show up for you as a private practice owner or an SLP, if you don't have boundaries in your schedule, you might find yourself not even having set working hours, like air quotes. After hours might not even be a thing for you. You might be thinking there are no after hours, teresa, i'm always working or I'm always on the clock. I'm never punched out, i'm never off. Okay, this might look like you saying yes to clients who you normally wouldn't say yes to. You know your ideal client, the type of diagnosis or needs that you work with or that you prefer to work with. You might be saying yes to just anybody and everybody because you just want to fill your schedule, or you want to make as much money as you can, or you want to help as many people as you can, or you want to disappoint as few people as you can, right. So these are some of the ways that I see this. These are things that I've seen my coaching clients do. These are things that I have done. These are things that you know. This is not like me calling everyone else out. This is me talking from experience, because I've done almost all of those things Almost Well, maybe all of them actually. I'm just thinking, but yeah, so this is normal, this is absolutely normal.
Speaker 1:16:41
But the result then of not having those boundaries in your schedule, the result of that is you, like I mentioned earlier you feel dread and resentment, you burn out. You might feel out of alignment I don't want to say out of balance, but I haven't really ever come up with another word yet. I have not come up with another word yet that describes this. But what I mean when I say out of alignment, i don't even think that's the right way to describe it. But really, what I'm saying is that you feel like you've got so much of your time spent on the things like work and tasks and not enough time on the things that you enjoy and that fill you up, and that you want to be spending your time doing So. It might look like you're a workaholic, or you know, i'm just going to work, work, work and hustle, hustle, hustle and get it all done, but you have little time for the other things of your life that you do enjoy spending your time on, but you just haven't been able to Do. You see what I'm doing here, do you see? Do you know what I'm thinking? The things that you haven't chose to spend your time on because you've been so busy working. Okay, all right. So that's some of the ways that this might show up.
Speaker 1:18:01
Now, i think and we've talked, of course, also about the risks, right Why? this is what this does to you. It leaves you burnout, leaves you exhausted, leaves you feeling resentful, leaves you feeling dread. I would also say that it is not having boundaries in your schedule can also negatively impact those around you. So it could negatively impact your clients, for sure, because you're not showing up as your best self. You're not showing up as your best business owner. You're not showing up as your best therapist, if you are a business owner. You're not showing up as the best employer. You're not showing up as the best boss or mentor or supervisor. And then, thinking outside of your work life, you're not showing up as your best self in general with your family, with your spouse or partner, with your kids, with your friends, whomever right, and then those other areas of your life are being neglected. So this might look like poor sleep, poor eating and diet choices, maybe not getting as much movement as you would like, all of the things that we just put on the chopping block when we're so busy or when we say we're so busy.
Speaker 1:19:18
Now, if we can agree that we need boundaries to operate at our highest self, and if we can agree that boundaries are safe and those are two big ifs, and I'll add another if, if you are listening to that and thinking, nope, nope, can't agree, teresa, i can't agree with that then we should talk. We should have a conversation, because I can help you with that. But if you're on board with the idea and you're in agreement that boundaries are safe and that boundaries are in everybody's best interest, then let's talk about ways that you can create them if you don't have them, or maintain them if you might have let go of them here or there. Okay, now just a reminder. I'm not saying that with boundaries that you always have to hold to them. There are definitely times where you will decide not to, and that's okay. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that, because you will have made that decision yourself. It won't be forced upon you. You will be choosing to modify your schedule or add something, or do something or not do something because of a boundary. It will be up to you and that's okay. That's fine, nothing has gotten wrong. But if you are looking for suggestions of how to do this, i have some tips to help you get started.
Speaker 1:20:52
The first thing that I always encourage clients to do if they don't know this yet and I even encourage coaching clients to revisit this repeatedly or routinely, because I think this can change But what I encourage you to do first is to determine and decide on your working hours and commit to those. Now, if you are employed by somebody else or if you're a contract. Well, if you're employed by somebody else, this is probably an easy question to answer, or an easy thing to determine. You know what days and times you are supposed to be at work, right? If you're an employee, if you're a contractor, that's going to look a little bit different, because you get to decide what days and hours you're working. And then, of course, if you are a business owner, again, that will look a little bit different too, because not only will you get to decide when you work, but I say with business owners in particular, we often struggle with when not to work because we're so.
Speaker 1:21:59
I think it goes both ways. We're often so, we're always thinking about business and we're thinking about it and we're planning and we're it's really hard to turn it off. So if we aren't doing it, we're often thinking about it, and then if we are, when we are in our business, it's sometimes easy to kind of just, oh well, i'll just keep going until I get this done and I can just, you know, i'll get to that thing at home later and I'll do that with my kids later. And then, on the flip side, it also can look like. It can look like this and actually this is really, really important for those of you that are listening, because I see this a lot This can also look like I can't work on my business, i can't build my private practice, i can't go out and get new clients until XYZ is done at home. So there are no boundaries, or they're very loose boundaries between the non-working stuff and the working stuff. So this can go both ways.
Speaker 1:23:05
But what I would encourage you to do first is to decide your hours and commit to them. Don't get trapped in all or nothing, thinking When you hear this, don't hear this, and say, well, i can't decide that because it's gonna look different every week. Well, okay, then do it every week. Look at each week. Start week by week if that's what it takes, start day by day if that's what it takes, and don't force yourself into a permanent decision. If it doesn't serve you in terms of what days and times you wanna work, just go with what works for you right now.
Speaker 1:23:41
Look at your schedule and figure out what are my working hours And if you have to do that daily, if you have to do that weekly, if you have to do that monthly, you figure it out. Whatever helps you to determine what hours you're working. Okay, i know for me right now, in the summer, I'm pretty much doing that weekly. I will sit down and I'll look at my week and I'll say, okay, what are the hours that I'm gonna be working in my coaching business, and I will mark them down on the calendar so that I can actually see them blocked off. And that is a literal boundary, then, because now I see the working hours and then I put in my home hours, or my other buckets, as I call them. So I have done episodes at least I don't know, i think at least three episodes on time buckets and what that is my system for time buckets and what that is. So if you're not in the Facebook group, get in the Facebook group, because I've done trainings on the time buckets in there and we're doing trainings on this topic of boundaries in the Facebook group, in the free group.
Speaker 1:24:55
But when I say buckets, i'm talking about the different categories of my life, like the different big areas of my life that take up energy. So for me that looks like a family bucket, a business bucket, a home slash house bucket and a personal bucket, and then within those buckets are the things that fall under those categories of what I spend my time on. So you need to decide what are your working hours. So kind of outline that work bucket and then outline the other buckets on your schedule and if you have to do this week by week, you can, so that you literally have a boundary in writing. You can see it there. This is work time, this is not work time, okay.
Speaker 1:25:44
The second and third thing that I'm gonna have you do and then I encourage all my clients to do is to identify what I call your energy drains and then energy restoration activities. So what that means is look at your schedule and identify what are the things on here that take my energy And if we're talking about work specifically, this could be certain clients, certain families that you treat or work with, certain families, certain clients, certain populations or diagnoses, personalities. So look at your clients, look at the people that are on your caseload and identify the ones that are going to take more of your energy And then, on the flip side of that, identify the ones that don't take up so much energy, or maybe even the ones that energize you, the sessions that you go into and you look forward to them and you enjoy and when you walk out you feel invigorated and excited and motivated and proud. Those would be the sessions that restore energy. So you wanna have an idea of which are the ones that drain and which are the ones that restore. Now, this is not an all or nothing thing. This could vary right Like from one week. The same client could fall into either category from week to week. It really and it's not a hard and fast rule. So just because you think a session is gonna be one that's gonna leave you feeling drained, you might do that session and then it actually might go really well and smooth and exciting, and then it might not have drained your energy that day. But we're just trying to make our best guess and you can do this. Most of you will probably be able to do this right off the top of your head, or you can kind of think about it a little bit and start paying attention when you're in your sessions.
Speaker 1:27:47
Pay attention to your body, pay attention to how you feel in those sessions. Do you feel nervous? Do you feel stressed? Do you feel anxious? Do you feel overwhelmed? Do you feel in control? Do you feel excited? Do you feel confused? Do you feel empowered? Think about those, because not every session is created equal and not every client is created equal. And I say that I'm gonna get in trouble with that, but I don't say that the way that it sounds. I say that in the sense of the energy of those sessions are not equal. Session A to session B to session C may cost you energetically very different things, okay. So hopefully that lands, hopefully that makes sense.
Speaker 1:28:34
And then the fourth thing that I would have you do when it comes to boundaries within your schedule are determining your rhythms. So what are your natural rhythms when you feel energized? Now, this can vary throughout the month. Certainly, there's lots of research about that, lots of content out there about that. This can also vary within the day. Are you a morning person, are you a night owl? But not only that, but also when do you feel creative? When do you feel administrative I don't know if that's the way you can feel, but when do you feel productive, that you can knock out those tasks that don't require a whole lot of thought, work, but they're just sort of those logistical, administrative tasks. When do you feel motivated to take on a challenge? So, really pay attention to that And, to the extent that you can, with all of these things in mind, plan your schedule accordingly. So if you can schedule the energy draining clients, the energy draining sessions, the more involved sessions, for a time of day when you have more energy, fantastic, do it, definitely do it.
Speaker 1:30:00
If you can't And you're like Teresa, this is crazy, i can't do that I would first of all double check that. Are you sure you can't? Maybe you can, and it's just that you're afraid of disappointing someone, you're afraid of losing a client, you're afraid of this, that or the other. I bet you there's something that will come up if you really ask yourself why, why can't I do that? But if you can't, then what I would tell you is look at your schedule. If you can't change anything about who you see when, what can you change? What can you control? You can control, maybe, your mindset as you go in and out of those sessions, when you're in them, before you go in, when you're in them, when you come out, you can, with the power of being self-aware, you can anticipate that, hey, this is gonna be a tough day. This is.
Speaker 1:30:57
I've got a lot. I've got a heavy caseload today. I've got a lot going on. So before, after, i need to do things that are going to restore my energy. I need to make sure I'm getting a good night's sleep the night before, or I need to make sure that I'm not scheduling anything on my personal schedule or my family schedule afterwards, after work. If I can avoid it, i might lower my expectations. Now, most of you know I have four kids and I own to private practice. I don't currently treat now, but I own to private practice and I have four kids and my husband is deployed right now. And so there, i recognize that there are many things about my schedule that feel like I can't control them, but I also recognize that there are many things on my schedule that I can control, and there are many things on my schedule that lots of people, or many things on your schedule, rather, that you think you can control, that you actually can. And so, when I can, i will make sure to the greatest extent possible that I adjust my schedule in the mornings or in the afternoons or evenings, depending upon what other things I have on the docket that day or that week, because I'm trying to sort of protect or conserve my energy. Okay, you can do that too. Look at the ways that you can do that. Think about the ways that you can do that. This is where the mindset piece comes in. When we're talking about building in boundaries with your schedule.
Speaker 1:32:28
You have to address those inner thoughts, those underlying thoughts that your brain is telling you. Many of you might not even be aware of them, you might not even realize, You might just feel some tension, like some inner tension or inner conflict, inner turmoil. Terminal might be a big word, like an exaggeration, but you might feel some inner tension when it comes to your schedule, creating it, modifying it, executing it. So look at why that is What is coming up for you, what is creating that And what are those thoughts that are floating through your brain? They happen like this. They're like bing bang, boom so quick that sometimes you've thought a thought, it's come and gone before you've even realized what it was. And so I really think there is so much benefit to slowing down, listening to your brain, identifying what you're hearing, what you're hearing yourself say What is your brain offering you, what is your brain saying And think about? is that true? This is now Byron Katie.
Speaker 1:33:37
But walking through those four steps of is it true? How do I know it's true? How do I feel? How do I react when I have that thought? And if I didn't have that thought, what would the possibilities be like? What would it be like if I wasn't feeling like I dread all my sessions? What would it be like if I didn't think, oh, this is so hard, these sessions are never going to go well. These sessions are never going to go well. That session didn't go well.
Speaker 1:34:08
Or if you're anticipating a session that you've got, oh my gosh, i've got this one at three o'clock and oof, this is going to be a doozy. This is going to be rough. Well, is that serving you? Is that helping you? Probably not. So just being aware of those thoughts popping into your brain, floating in, floating out, and addressing them. Not ignoring them. Addressing them, because once you address them, then you have more power. You have more power over them, and then it helps you be in the driver's seat of how you feel And it helps you be in the driver's seat of how you spend your time.
Speaker 1:34:47
The last tip I could go on and on about this, but the last tip that I have for you when it comes to boundaries in your schedule. This is piggybacking off of what I was saying earlier about focusing on what you can control and what you can't control. So be strategic with building in the activities or the moments or the breaks when you can. That will build up your energy. That will help you restore and feel kind of come back to that baseline level, or maybe even higher than baseline, which would be fantastic. But don't look at your schedule and say, oh my gosh, my case load is way too big. There's no way I can do this. Well, let's think outside the box. Can you do a five minute meditation? Can you stop and listen to absolute silence for five minutes? Could you walk outside? Could you step out of your office and step outside and feel the sunshine and hear the birds, or get the fresh air, whatever it takes to sort of zap you out of it, snap you out of it and bring you back to a place where you are a little bit more rejuvenated, a little bit more energized.
Speaker 1:36:05
What can you do in those small pockets of time? Don't get trapped in that All or nothing thinking. Don't think that, oh, i can't afford to spend my time on this because I don't have the time to spend. Well, how much time are we talking here? If this could be something that is literally two minutes. It doesn't have to be this big, huge thing that you stop and do to take a break and to build in breaks in your, in your schedule.
Speaker 1:36:33
You can do this in small, little pockets of time and the cumulative impact of those, the cumulative ROI, is so strong. Don't underestimate that. You've got these little pieces, these little moments that you can take advantage of that. That okay. Yeah, maybe not on their own, maybe they're not gonna make a huge, huge impact, but together over time, they absolutely will Not just because they'll add up and help you you know, come back to to your baseline or more when it comes to energy, but also it helps Every time you do that. It helps you flex that muscle of time, authority of time ownership, of taking care of yourself, prioritizing yourself right. Anytime you take for you, no matter how short or how long it is, is one more example, one more opportunity, one more achievement, one more success on the road to self-development, on the road to living a more peaceful and productive life. Right, and that's what it's all about. It's not just about getting more done. It's about doing the right things. Air quotes doing the things that make us feel good, doing the things that we enjoy and being in control of how we're spending our time. All right, this is a little longer than I thought it was gonna be.
