| #OTalk @OTalk_ @Amie_OT He says “No @Amie_OT, you shall not forget the #OTalk hashtag” 😉 https://t.co/Wu9CJFaaFl |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Amie_OT Making sure I am not physically, mentally, and/or emotionally drained. #otalk |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @LydiaWardOT @OTalk_ @Kirstie_OT Really interesting dissertation topic! Would love to know more about it some time =] #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 1 from @Amie_OT. #OTalk https://t.co/Jup34Kc6iM |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @OT_rach: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @stefflesYSJOT: |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT Really lovely description @stefflesYSJOT! I feel a lot of what I will be talking about will focus on the leisure! #OTalk https://t.co/581dedybN4 |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @Amie_OT: Really lovely description @stefflesYSJOT! I feel a lot of what I will be talking about will focus on the leisure! #OTalk https://t.co/581dedybN4 |
 | Orla @orlatheot @Amie_OT Stop and thinking before saying yes to an opportunity #otalk |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT For me occupational balance is being able to keep work at work and not forgetting the importance of leisure and having fun (mainly fire juggling and archery) #OTalk |
 | Jo OT 💙 @LDOTJo @BillWongOT @Amie_OT Making sure I have time for everything I need to do and also for things I want to do #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @orlatheot: @Amie_OT Stop and thinking before saying yes to an opportunity #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ An example of occupational balance Kerri? Hope you have a relaxing time #OTalk https://t.co/DkZDe169MG |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @SarahSharland19: |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT This is such an important part of it, sometimes it can be easy starting a new job or on placement to jump and say yes to everything, but that's not always the healthiest route #OTalk https://t.co/piUCg79ElK |
| Orla @orlatheot RT @SarahSharland19: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @kerri_schOT @Amie_OT And sometimes I am such a bad example of such. Too much time at work (working beyond 8 hours). #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @Lauren_OT: |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT Some really great examples and definition of #occupationalbalance going on! #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ How many of us are guilty of this? 🙋🏻♀️ with so many opportunities out there it can be difficulty to say no, we need to find our own limits, balance & what works for us as individuals. #OTalk https://t.co/VKB6ISS1iG |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @stefflesYSJOT But they can be the most important, why do you think we let them slip so easily? #OTalk |
 | Trich @Trichlils_OT @Amie_OT @stefflesYSJOT It's hard to have occupational balance when studying and being a mum though hey. Any tips? #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OTalk_ Very guilty! I can’t resist working overtime for extra funds! #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @stefflesYSJOT: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @stefflesYSJOT @Amie_OT That is why when I go to conferences, I make sure I hit the golf course at least once and tour around the location. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 2... #OTalk https://t.co/P9MfCbUYZz |
| Orla @orlatheot RT @OTalk_: How many of us are guilty of this? 🙋🏻♀️ with so many opportunities out there it can be difficulty to say no, we need to find our own limits, balance & what works for us as individuals. #OTalk https://t.co/VKB6ISS1iG |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @RachaelD_OT: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Very true. Brings us back to that word again doesnt it... balance. It can be a fine line. #OTalk https://t.co/nt2WDjozcS |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @SadieBlueOT: |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @SadieBlueOT A girl after my own heart @SadieBlueOT it's become one of my favourite subjects! While studying I lost all #occupationalbalance and had to find it again and since then i've realised the importance of talking about looking after ourselves as well as our service users #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @stefflesYSJOT: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @SarahSharland19: |
 | Movi @mariahenriksso7 RT @SadieBlueOT: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @SarahSharland19 @OTalk_ And for me with golf, I am so lucky I live in constantly sunny Los Angeles! If it’s a place with cold winters, that would be a barrier for me to participate! #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @SarahSharland19 @OTalk_ And just to note- playing golf on a simulator is NOT the same as playing out on the actual golf course! So sometimes there are conditions that limit our abilities to participate in values occupations. #otalk |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @SarahSharland19 @OTalk_ So true @SarahSharland19 there's a fine line between having the right #occupationalbalance and also challenging yourself to new occupations and adventures, finding fire juggling really opened up a new activity which I've come to love! #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @LynseyMcc_OT: |
| Orla @orlatheot @Amie_OT #otalk As a student, it's important but it gets pushed aside. There isnt 9am-5pm working hours with group project deadlines looming. |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @LynseyMcc_OT @kerri_schOT @Amie_OT Or someone like me- I am a serial abstract submitter while being active part of our OT associations! #otalk |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @orlatheot Exactly, and despite there not being a 9-5, it's about finding time to fit in other occupations #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @orlatheot: @Amie_OT #otalk As a student, it's important but it gets pushed aside. There isnt 9am-5pm working hours with group project deadlines looming. |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ The threat of Grumpy Cat appears to be working... looks like everyone is remembering the #OTalk Hashtag. Whoop-he is now a happy cat! https://t.co/lchEuKlUJ1 |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @GillianMMXVII @Trich06146917 @stefflesYSJOT Zumba is a great activity! #OTalk |
| Orla @orlatheot RT @SarahSharland19: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @orlatheot @Amie_OT And in my work setting, sometimes my boss would say, “Hey! I need you to work today.” On weekends with little notice. #otalk |
| Orla @orlatheot @Amie_OT @GillianMMXVII @Trich06146917 @stefflesYSJOT Love Zumba! #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @orlatheot @Amie_OT Or another one would be from my boss- “Hey! Please help this building with its reports. I need them done ASAP!” #otalk |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @stefflesYSJOT you're comment on burnout brings me right round to thinking about Q3. how balanced do you feel your occupations are at this moment in time? #OTalk |
| Orla @orlatheot RT @Amie_OT: This is such an important part of it, sometimes it can be easy starting a new job or on placement to jump and say yes to everything, but that's not always the healthiest route #OTalk https://t.co/piUCg79ElK |
| Orla @orlatheot RT @Amie_OT: For me occupational balance is being able to keep work at work and not forgetting the importance of leisure and having fun (mainly fire juggling and archery) #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Amie_OT @stefflesYSJOT On a scale of 1-10, I would say 3.5. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 3... #OTalk https://t.co/VhxKyErEhr |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @NicoleBevanOT: |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT Too true, having a good or bad balance of occupations can help or hinder performance! #OTalk https://t.co/HVEHMly9iS |
 | deb_OT @dmay_ot @Trich06146917 @Amie_OT @stefflesYSJOT Hang on and enjoy the ride? I feel your pain though. Life now is placement, study, sleep, wave at kids #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @JoyceInYork If you work in a setting that opens 24/7/365, you got to roll with the punches. After all, every day counts, especially with weekend admissions. #otalk |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT Exactly how I felt! We can talk to our service users about balance, about time for self and looking after yourself, but sometimes we need to take our own advice! #OTalk https://t.co/5vw9azEdkR |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @JoyceInYork It can be hard and trying is better than forgetting and working through a lunch break! #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @JoyceInYork That actually happened to me on Christmas Eve. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @Amie_OT: @JoyceInYork It can be hard and trying is better than forgetting and working through a lunch break! #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @OTthoughts: |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @Trich06146917 @stefflesYSJOT Hopefully we will have some tips for you before the end of the session. But quick tips for me include taking 5 minuets to have a cup of tea in my favourite cup and enjoy that occupation, balance can be found in the little things too! #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OTthoughts Haha! If I don’t have chats with you guys during the week, I feel the same way... since that’s my lunch hour. 🤓 #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ We know the importance of balance & talk about it with our clients, so why can it be so difficult to find for ourselves? #OTalk https://t.co/x2A6JMq4R4 |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @SadieBlueOT: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @Amie_OT: Too true, having a good or bad balance of occupations can help or hinder performance! #OTalk https://t.co/HVEHMly9iS |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @RachaelD_OT: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @RobTheOT: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @RobTheOT @SadieBlueOT @Amie_OT When I go to conferences, I make sure I tack on extra days so that I can enjoy the experience. #otalk |
| Orla @orlatheot RT @Amie_OT: @orlatheot Exactly, and despite there not being a 9-5, it's about finding time to fit in other occupations #OTalk |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @OTthoughts @stefflesYSJOT @OTthoughts any time with my dog when she is behaving rebalances me #OTalk |
| Orla @orlatheot RT @kerri_schOT: |
| deb_OT @dmay_ot I'm a (mature) ot student on placement but I'm struggling with shorter work days and short lunch breaks. Whilst leaving at 4:30 is great, when I left old office at 6 I had an hour for lunch and I used to run. Now I barely have time to eat! #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @cathymc9781 In US, it’s quite common that OT practitioners do second jobs. That would make a huge impact on occupational balance! #otalk |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT We've brushed on the subject but here's Q4. What are your biggest barriers to occupational balance? #OTalk |
 | Shazz J-E @shazzajamie @MurphytheOT Sorry #OTalk i had prolonged sickness, never used to have lunch breaks, now I have 30 mins walk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 4... #OTalk https://t.co/vWLUbdPKho |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @JoyceInYork Here is the crazy part at my work- a rehab director already booked ALL the holidays I am available! #otalk |
| Orla @orlatheot RT @Amie_OT: Exactly how I felt! We can talk to our service users about balance, about time for self and looking after yourself, but sometimes we need to take our own advice! #OTalk https://t.co/5vw9azEdkR |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT For me as a student it became my family, placement and uni work... Right now it's mainly my dog and work #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Amie_OT Working overtime constantly will be for me! #otalk |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @BillWongOT @cathymc9781 I couldn't imagine having a 2nd job, where do people ever find time for themselves? #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Wow nearly half way through tonights hour already! Great discussions happening... #OTalk https://t.co/vWAL0hd5p3 |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Amie_OT @cathymc9781 Well- that is because many are indentured servants of huge student loans! #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @stefflesYSJOT: |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @kerri_schOT @stefflesYSJOT Time away from work / uni can be the best way to restore balance! But it's also good to have smaller things to do #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @stefflesYSJOT Money is a big one. In US, many OT practitioners have huge student loans looming in front of them. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @SarahSharland19: |
| Orla @orlatheot @Amie_OT Probably working part-time as well as studying, it can be tiring when I am on placement #OTalk |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @Trich06146917 @dmay_ot @stefflesYSJOT And that's perfect! By scheduling it in it becomes your protected time and is just as important #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Very good point! Often full timers wonder how much easier it would be working part time, but perhaps that brings different challenges. #OTalk https://t.co/HSVs9iD9d4 |
| Shazz J-E @shazzajamie @SarahSharland19 @GillianMMXVII @Amie_OT @OTalk_ #OTalk i used to go to gym before work. Recent health issues mean I've had to stop gym |
| Trich @Trichlils_OT @dmay_ot @Amie_OT @stefflesYSJOT Sorry I forgot #OTalk . Please don't send the grumpy cat!! |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @SarahSharland19 @GillianMMXVII @Amie_OT @OTalk_ Me would be the golf course... as I said many times. Being grumpy and let out foul language there is awesome... since there is no judgment. Only shows to fellow players that you care about the game (as long as you show good sportsmanship). #otalk |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @RobTheOT @RobTheOT I know exactly where you are coming from, it can be hard to prioritise and pick out one opportunity over another, but sometimes it's ok and better to say no to something #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @cathymc9781: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @JoyceInYork: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @OTalk_: Very good point! Often full timers wonder how much easier it would be working part time, but perhaps that brings different challenges. #OTalk https://t.co/HSVs9iD9d4 |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OTalk_ Or in some cases- some people would dream of working just one job instead of 2! #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @OT_rach: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @RobTheOT: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @OT_Francesca: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @orlatheot: @Amie_OT Probably working part-time as well as studying, it can be tiring when I am on placement #OTalk |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @cathymc9781 @cathymc9781 I live by the seaside and there is something to say about being near the water, it's so important to remember what keeps up going and protect time for that occupation #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @orlatheot @Amie_OT I also like working locum at first. Helps me get to know setting... which helped when I transitioned to full time. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Another interesting point, technology can make life easier (both work & home) but does it make it “too” easy & encourage us to develop bad habits? #OTalk https://t.co/YlRA2NkznR |
| Shazz J-E @shazzajamie @SarahSharland19 @GillianMMXVII @Amie_OT @OTalk_ #otalk i try and do 30 minute walk. Got a lousy cold at the moment so making a cuppa is like a HI IT workout 😁 |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @MurphytheOT @SarahSharland19 @GillianMMXVII @Amie_OT @OTalk_ I don’t mind playing golf in some rain... but not horrid weather. My rubbish performance will just be magnified... lol! #otalk |
| deb_OT @dmay_ot @RachaelD_OT Guilt is awful for upsetting occupational balance. If you find a way to manage it, please let me know! #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @natlouj @Amie_OT Dont forget to include the #Otalk hashtag in your tweets Nat, we wouldnt want anyone to miss out on your input 👍🏼 |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @OTthoughts: |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT Sometimes the hardest thing to do is to find time for ourselves, life and events can really play havoc with protected time and looking after ourselves, I don't think it's always easy. Just important! #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OTthoughts @JoyceInYork I am the opposite. I can access most of my work stuff from home. So it really helps with catching up from home on the rare times that I need it. #otalk |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT So there are a lot of common themes, work, life, families and other commitments that can take up time meant for ourselves, so how do we protect our own time? #OTalk |
| Shazz J-E @shazzajamie @dmay_ot @RachaelD_OT #OTalk i use mindfulness and relaxation hypnotherapy to deal with guilt |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @SarahSharland19 @MurphytheOT @GillianMMXVII @Amie_OT @OTalk_ I used to play piano as a kid. But now I need hours to refresh what I have learned in the past! #otalk |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT Q5 Is what strategies do you use to maintain occupational balance? #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk https://t.co/g12Iz5cJl4 |
| Shazz J-E @shazzajamie @colourful_ot @SadieBlueOT @Amie_OT #otalk very good poi t we don't always treat ourselves as well as we would of our friends |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 5... #OTalk https://t.co/Kcg0HCCY9X |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @OTthoughts @JoyceInYork I know that is something I am guilty of at times having a twitter account and work phone #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @SarahSharland19 @MurphytheOT @GillianMMXVII @Amie_OT @OTalk_ Piano for me is probably my arts activity. It was a process to self taught myself some tough pieces. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Lots of interesting insights tonight. How did we ever get by with the 140 character limit. #OTalk https://t.co/4GrFbXobUr |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT Just a little disclaimer, I'm not ignoring the amazing things you are saying, it's hard to keep up with everything at the same time as the internet not being the best here! #OTalk |
| Shazz J-E @shazzajamie @Amie_OT #OTalk mindfulness, a good walk. Change my work clothes to home clothes |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @MurphytheOT @SarahSharland19 @GillianMMXVII @Amie_OT @OTalk_ Now golf took over! I have motivation to practice weekly (and occasionally take lessons) because I don’t want to embarrass myself when I do play with OT’s! #otalk |
| Orla @orlatheot @Amie_OT #Otalk planning my time to include 15/30 mins of playing my ukulele in the evening, instantly clears my head and cheers me up |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @OT_Francesca: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @shazzajamie: @colourful_ot @SadieBlueOT @Amie_OT #otalk very good poi t we don't always treat ourselves as well as we would of our friends |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Amie_OT In my job, I got to make sure I schedule enough holidays every year! #otalk |
| Orla @orlatheot @shazzajamie @Amie_OT Yes, a walk in the park near my house goes on my list too :) #otalk |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @OT_Francesca Guilt is really hard to deal with, but I really like the idea of scheduling time out, I had to do this while doing essays to keep me on track, or I would go off on a tangent and loose focus #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Amie_OT And sometimes I do aim at competitive revenge at the golf courses I struggled at! So I come a day early for my state association’s Capitol Hill day, for example! #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @Amie_OT: @OT_Francesca Guilt is really hard to deal with, but I really like the idea of scheduling time out, I had to do this while doing essays to keep me on track, or I would go off on a tangent and loose focus #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @stephyren: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @LynseyMcc_OT: |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT From Hockey to Walks, Swimming, Sport, my own archery and juggling, there's a great mix of occupations that we get up to! #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Why do we often feel guilty when we know the importance of a meaningful occupation? #OTalk https://t.co/KP1Gt9Tduz |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @OTalk_ I'm so glad the limit was doubled! I never would have been able to host an #OTalk before! |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @LynseyMcc_OT @Amie_OT With me in golf, I almost always play with different people. A good fun loose group with strangers is fine too. Last Saturday, I played with a father and son. Father was the good player. Son was the beginner. Had a great time socializing! #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @Amie_OT And that pictures dont count in the word count anymore! Happy #OTalk days! https://t.co/2gWMi0GUXz |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT We are speeding through the questions tonight, so number 6 I'm asking for your advice... what tips do you have for other students/graduates/OTs? #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 6... #OTalk https://t.co/P6r9d00kIV |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @LynseyMcc_OT @Amie_OT And I always tell my playing partners, “Don’t be surprised if I do some crazy stuff at the golf course during the round. I have reasons behind my madness though!” #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Agreed! As a population us OTs are a creative bunch indeed. #OTalk https://t.co/mQGn2nfwzp |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @stephyren @smb1607 Likewise, it took me to the point of burnout to realise that I needed to spend some time looking after myself and sharing this with topic others #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @LynseyMcc_OT @Amie_OT The pro and con of me- my holidays are dictated by conferences. Last few years my breaks tend to stagger in middle of the year. #otalk |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @natlouj I love a good book, it's a great way to pass my time commuting #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @Amie_OT: @stephyren @smb1607 Likewise, it took me to the point of burnout to realise that I needed to spend some time looking after myself and sharing this with topic others #OTalk |
 | Dr Lynne Goodacre 💙 @LynneGoodacre Sorry I’m late tonight #OTalk. I’m catching up and reading a lot of posts about guilt and thought I’d share this quote that I love https://t.co/BprDOI4CXc |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Amie_OT @stephyren @smb1607 I learned that lesson from my first job too. After that, I need to make sure I am balanced. If I really can’t go to work, I am not forcing myself to work a switch day if I don’t want to. #otalk |

| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @GillianMMXVII and @NicoleBebanOT I'm loving the idea of booking leisure activities in advice, I'm going to be taking that one forwards with me #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @GillianMMXVII @OTalk_ Now I have bought a groupon for 10 golf lessons. So I got to redeem it! #otalk |
| deb_OT @dmay_ot @OTalk_ Because the list of things I ought to do never ends. I'm bad at accepting that and ignoring it so doing something 'fun' whilst there is work to do feels wrong. #OTalk |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @OTthoughts @OTalk_ It's definitely something I would like to think about more #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @OTthoughts: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @OTthoughts And we will tell clients that its ok to do this, but not tell ourselves. #Otalk |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @LynneGoodacre Love the quote! and don't be sorry for being late, we are glad you made it! #OTalk |
| Orla @orlatheot @Amie_OT #OTalk I would advise that when you take breaks from study/assignments, don't feel guilty about it. Rest is essential. |

| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT It's really interesting that the idea of guilt keeps coming up, perhaps we need to consider why we feel guilty and how to manage this! #OTalk you've got me thinking! |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @dmay_ot @OTalk_ In my setting, that would be reports! They are never ending... and if you slack off one day, you end up paying for it in the future. #otalk |

| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT Some great advice for students! #OTalk https://t.co/1rKMFablTB |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @hsbannister No worries, better late than never! Still plenty of time to chat away & add your thoughts #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @orlatheot @Amie_OT And same goes when it comes to study for a test like @NBCOT. I always tell people who failed it more than once to make sure they don’t study too hard. #otalk |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT Loving all of the advice going around! #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Another topic maybe?? 😉 #OTalk https://t.co/RqdHZaS6At |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @LynseyMcc_OT @Amie_OT I will definitely look forward to seeing you in May. 😁 #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @hsbannister: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ What a lovely summary! #OTalk 💚 https://t.co/K2tAhKPEBm |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT This is great, having a code and having family support is essential in dealing with burnout and improving occupational balance! #OTalk https://t.co/WFFSYlpppf |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @MurphytheOT @OTalk_ @OTthoughts I think at times we are too selfless! #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @Amie_OT: It's really interesting that the idea of guilt keeps coming up, perhaps we need to consider why we feel guilty and how to manage this! #OTalk you've got me thinking! |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @OTalk_ Definitely thinking about it! #OTalk |
| deb_OT @dmay_ot @BillWongOT @OTalk_ It's like going on leave. You do 2 weeks work before you go to tidy stuff up, and 2 weeks worth of work when you get back to catch up! #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Think many of us can relate to this... #OTalk https://t.co/zgY6Dly3r4 |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Amie_OT In my setting, it’s natural because it could go from 10 reports due to 20 tomorrow if you slack off one day... lol! #otalk |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT Love this description and so true! #OTalk https://t.co/X8TvuDFbCA |
| Dr Lynne Goodacre 💙 @LynneGoodacre And the values that brought us into OT are the very ones that confound our attempts to put ourselves first #OTalk https://t.co/uaTRb5vBNE |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT Great idea about using networks as support! Thank you for sharing #OTalk https://t.co/IQHsOd94XS |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @dmay_ot @OTalk_ That’s why there is an unwritten rule for locum OTR’s (or full time ones who need hours) in my work- you need to give the vacationing OTR’s nothing to worry about with reports when they come back from holidays! #otalk |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT Some of the best advice that I have heard, don't keep it bottled up and there is NO shame! #OTalk https://t.co/VtnXjkQLA2 |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @dmay_ot @OTalk_ The OTR’s at my cluster of nursing homes appreciate me coming to help them when they are on vacations because they know I understand this unwritten rule well. #otalk |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT 8 minuets left and we are onto the last question. If you could make one change about your current occupational balance what would it be? #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Onto the last 10 minutes of tonights chat. #OTalk @Amie_OT https://t.co/opR5KXuLVs |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Amie_OT That is why I am having fun with you guys every week... haha! #otalk |

| #OTalk @OTalk_ Last question of the night... #OTalk https://t.co/Kll6cFgRGc |
 | Beth @Beth_Ward_OT RT @orlatheot: @Amie_OT #OTalk I would advise that when you take breaks from study/assignments, don't feel guilty about it. Rest is essential. |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @stephyren @Amie_OT I would need half a day- since a round of 18 holes requires at least 4 hours on the weekend in Los Angeles, if not 6! #otalk |

| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT For me, I want to spend 20 minuets a week juggling, making the time to do an activity that I love and that is just for me #OTalk |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @debbieduckie @OTalk_ I feel that if I'm putting my leisure time in my diary I need some glitter or something to really make it stand out (and look fun) #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @smb1607 @SadieBlueOT @Amie_OT I am on the delivering end of this. When an OTR fails on basic things on reports documentations, I get pissed. I kept on wondering- “How come she never asks me questions when I am at the facility? Also, how come she is slow but also sloppy?” #otalk |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT A great point towards the end of the evening, it is hard. Finding balance and time is challenging but it's not a topic we should ignore, we need to think about time for ourselves and the importance of it! #OTalk https://t.co/tFkGPeJ7ET |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Lauren_OT And then if you are the gung Ho type, can be even harder. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @jaimee_OT @Amie_OT In US, we use it all the time for saying lazy... lol! #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @LynseyMcc_OT @MurphytheOT @OTthoughts Indeed! #PJpartyDays #Otalk |

| #OTalk @OTalk_ Great tip for the student members of our community #OTalk https://t.co/bhJJfdXeHW |
 | Natasha Griffiths @CreativOTasha @Amie_OT I second changing into PJ’s as soon as I get in! I also find eating good food/recipes, watching a TV series (DEFINITELY Luther or Dr Foster) and at least 2 hours of sofa/chill time 3 times a week keeps me in happy form #occupationalbalance #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @jaimee_OT @Amie_OT I have been telling the OTR I am constantly not happy about... “If you slack off one day, you are going to work twice as hard at least the next day to catch up. I am that demanding to you because I know your work is doable in a day always!” #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Thats our official #OTalk hour up with @Amie_OT. Please keep chatting & adding your thoughts, we wont grab the transcript until later in the week. https://t.co/FDdZbWSbnk |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @SadieBlueOT @smb1607 @Amie_OT It is hard for me for a different reason. You guys love me too much and I want to make an excuse to visit as often as I physically (and financially) can... 😝 #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Have you read an interesting article you would like to discuss? Know of any new developments or campaigns? What about innovative research going on? Why not share it with the community & host an #OTalk chat? https://t.co/Kf8nFtq4Zi |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @smb1607 @OTalk_ Haha knitting definitely is more stress than leisure for me! Im terrible at it #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ We shall be back next week with the topic of “Benefits & myths of employing OTs with seen & unseen impairments” hosted by @LynseyMcc_OT. Blog to follow shortly. #OTalk https://t.co/m0L4IUQObV |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @jaimee_OT @Amie_OT If it is at a big nursing home, I understand. But since the one she is at is a small one, that is why I said that. Even the toughest of days, she should be able to finish everything. #otalk |
