I’ve been researching productivity for many years at this point. It’s a wide-ranging topic that could quickly spiral into a 10-hour podcast, so I’m going to focus on one particular facet in today’s episode: deep work. Deep work is getting more and more difficult to achieve due to a variety of factors, so my hope today is to introduce you (or reacquaint you) to the principles of deep work. We’ll also talk about a few strategies to implement more deep work in your practice and your life.

If you’ve listened to the podcast for any amount of time, you know that I’m a big fan of optimizing your schedule and creating big breaks to work ON the business instead of IN the business. Today I’m revisiting some of these ideas in hopes of motivating you to take a little time and actually block off your schedule over the next several months. Or at least *think about* blocking off your schedule over the next several months. Let’s get into it!

It goes without saying that the risk for clinical burnout is very high these days. Dr. Geremy Grant, NCSP, is here to chat with me about burnout among school psychologists (and clinicians in general). As a nationally certified school psychologist and someone who cares deeply about the intersection of clinical identity and potential for burnout, Geremy is an excellent individual with whom to have this conversation. Here are some of the ideas that we discuss during the interview today:
- Systemic and personal strategies to deal with burnout
- Steps for advocacy within your organization
- The roles of targeted assessment vs. the “kitchen sink” approach in burnout
- Scheduling and time management for burnout
Cool Things Mentioned
- NASP strategies on burnout
- APA’s normalizing material
- National Education Association Resources on Social Emotional Learning for Students and Educators
- Letters to a Young Therapist by Mary Pipher (great for those early in their careers, who provide therapeutic services)
- Calm app
- Breathwork app
