As autumn approaches, there’s a “back to school” feeling in the air, and even adults can feel it—back to school and back to business.
Fall is the perfect time to start anew and get things organized for your private practice. Here are some ideas to help you get better organized and boost your practice efficiency this fall.
Upgrade Your Tech
Buying school supplies is always exciting for kids. It might be a good idea to embrace this mentality and get some new office supplies for your private practice! Even though in-person sessions are possible again, it’s tough to beat the convenience of having sessions from the comfort of your couch. And many mental health clients have discovered that they prefer Video Therapy to in-person sessions.
With that in mind, you should give your clients the best video experience possible by purchasing an upgraded webcam and microphone or headset. Generally, the webcams built into laptops are terrible, and the microphones aren’t much better either. In a Video Therapy session, you want your clients to have crystal-clear images and sound, so buying some new teleconferencing equipment might be a smart investment for your practice.
Autumn Cleaning
The fall is the perfect time to go through your Owl Practice account to ensure that everything is where it should be, archiving old documents, notes, and clients.
And what about any old paper clutter; are you holding onto any old paper files? Remember, you can scan documents to upload to Owl Practice and have your paper old documents shredded to clear the clutter.
After you finish up your business autumn cleaning, your Owl Practice account, and your physical practice will be both sparkling like new!
Rediscover Your Time Off
If there’s one thing that kids are amazing at, it’s leaving school behind at the end of the day, sometimes to the detriment of their homework!
As adults, we have a lot more trouble with that concept. Our work often follows us home, intruding on our time to relax. Working from home has also blurred the lines between work life and personal life.
Everyone needs some downtime to perform at their best. If you’ve let any hobbies or after-work activities drop off over the last few months, September might be a perfect time to pick them back up again. By rebuilding your work-life balance, you’ll be able to give your best both at work and at home!
And remember, Owl Practice saves mental health practices an average of 12 hours a month on administrative tasks! So take advantage of that extra time by rediscovering your time off.
Tools & Mindset
Autumn offers a time new beginning. Getting into the back-to-school spirit is a combination of mindset and having the right tools. With a good webcam and Owl Video Therapy and an organized practice management system within Owl, you can get your practice on track for an optimum fall season.
