As a Business ops manager , I like to be ahead (or at least keep myself current) of all things happening at work.
I catch up with my Work emails while having cofee. and categorize them as follows
- "To-Do" for the same day,
- Follow-up for future date,
- No-Action required (delete the email / Move to junk folder)
As i get ready to work i listen to news ( listen to news while driving to work) -- All the above happens before my typical work starts:
Typical Day (includes but not limited to)
- 40% of my day is occupied by meetings which i am leading or attending to provide my business input
- Rest of the time I am working on the To-Do's actions that I marked for myself i.e - Analysing data , creating powerpoint presentation to propose a business case, or studying for my certification ( Yes your career development is part of your job and work day), mentoring your colleague etc -- These are typical things i do day-to-day.
- Starting your day early is the KEY for success.

Hi, Tiesha!
As a music therapist, most of my day is spent in the clinical setting with clients. I have about 25 hours of client contact throughout my week where I am traveling to schools and clinical sites in order to provide therapy to students within the public school system. After client contact, I typically will complete paperwork for that therapy session including IEP documentation, progress notes, end of the year reviews, re-evaluations, etc.
A great of my job as a music therapist is that part of my day also includes session planning for clients I see the next day. In this portion of the work day, I get to write songs, create visuals foe my students, and really get creative with the work I’m about to do the next day.
Overall, my week will consist of about 65% client contact, 20% documentation, 5% meetings with school staff, 10% session planning, song writing, and visual creation.
