Save 67% of the time you spend on paperwork in social work.
The numbers don't lie. In 2015, Ferguson (2016:195) found that 39 to 45% of a social worker's time was spent on admin work.
Let's face it.
You didn't come into social work to spend that much time on paperwork. You wanted to help people flourish! Not sit in front of a computer.
With these 14 tips, I cut down the time I spent on paperwork from 6 hours a day, to 2. I thought it was just me. Then I shared it.
Colleagues found themselves happier and healthier.
You can too.

About the author
Hi,
I'm John!
On my last placement, I nearly failed. Twice. I felt so lonely. What was worse that I didn't know how to improve, or where to go for help. I created this to help social workers and social work students to know that they are not alone.
I am excited about helping you to uncover your fullest potential.

John’s teaching was innovative and inspiring; he encouraged the students to consider how to present with confidence and to radically reshape their presentation style to build a rapport with their audience. I am confident that John’s humour, passion and integrity will contribute significantly to organisations.
