Buffer time is a gap between appointments that helps manage transitions and ensures you have enough time to prepare for the next session. It serves as a cushion to account for any delays or extra time needed, whether it's for wrapping up a session or taking a short break before your next one.
For example, if your session typically lasts an hour, you might set a buffer time of 10-15 minutes afterward to prevent back-to-back appointments and give you time to get ready for the next client.
Buffer time is useful for:
- Avoiding Overlaps: Preventing one session from spilling into the next.
- Managing Breaks: Allowing yourself a short break between sessions to recharge.
- Minimizing Stress: Ensuring you're not rushed and have time to handle any unexpected situations.
Setting buffer time is a great way to create a smoother scheduling experience for both you and your clients. It can be easily configured in your Sofia Health account, helping to optimize your schedule and keep things running smoothly.
