How can you sustainably plan a break from work?

I know I said this would be a bi-monthly affair, but I am landing in your inbox a 3rd time this month. Ideally, I want to do this weekly but I will not be calling it a weekly newsletter till I do it consistently for 10 weeks. If this has reached your inbox but you haven’t yet subscribed, subscribe here. For the previous editions, visit here.

In private practice, every holiday means a pay cut. So, what can you do to plan for breaks in a sustainable manner?

• Explore the emotions that come up for you that make it difficult to take a break, pauses are important!

• Make a personalised holiday calendar for yourself.

• Set your fee such that it accommodates holidays listed in your calendar.

• Keep aside funds for emergencies that can lead to unforeseen breaks.

Until next time,

P.S. In this month’s Reflective Business Support Group, after a discussion on breaks, I will be elaborating more on how to go about doing all of these. If you’d like to join, register here. Happening on Thursday, 18th July from 6:30-8pm.
