Heroes of the new economy: Balancing Time
I am a Psychologist in a busy, 2-day per week private practice. The balance of the time I teach marriage and family psychology at a graduate school of theological studies.
Over the years, I have found it difficult to book my clients and balance my other work responsibilities. Some weeks I might spend 2-3 hours simply booking and rebooking clients as their schedules change. And this intrusion is often at the expense of my family or some non-vocational interests.
I Googled “online calendars” and found Setster and I have been using it for the past month with significant success. My clients appreciate not having to email and phone me to make their appointments. And I love it when I see that a booking has occurred and I have done nothing to make it happen. Plus it appeals to the “techy” in me and many of my clients.
During my time of using Setster, I enjoyed a 2-weeks vacation. While away I could watch my calendar, see who was making appointments and not have to worry about unattended emergencies. This was a real help to me.
I also very much appreciate having a listing of my clients email addresses and other info where I can easily contact them.
The price is a bargain. I hope that there will be sufficient support of this excellent and growing program to be around for the years to come. I am depending on it.
