Track Your Vocal Load

Keep a quick daily log to spot what wears your voice down. Rate each day one to five for how much you talked. Jot any warning signs: hoarseness, a tight throat, or a smaller range than usual.

Use that log to put recovery time between your heaviest talking days. If Tuesday is your wall of back-to-back meetings, keep Wednesday light. If a big presentation lands on Friday, ease off your Thursday calls so your voice shows up fresh.
