And today at 4:10 the Ocean Drift playlist politely segued into a salsa track mid-facial in Room 3, and I have never tiptoed so quickly to the iPad in my life. How do you fix those tech hiccups while keeping the room calm and the therapist’s flow uninterrupted?
Running this in a shared Google Sheet + Form works: it time‑stamps receipts, and a tiny Apps Script yells at 8:15 a.m. Monday if anything wasn’t reconciled by Friday 4:00. > I’m looking for a clean template or lightweight tool; general info only — case‑specific decisions — this keeps it lightweight and audit‑ready without dragging attorneys into admin.
I keep a 90‑minute offline ‘calm loop’ as a Sonos favorite and mapped the iPad Back Tap to a Shortcut: ‘Play Favorite + set volume 15%’; when a salsa pops in, a quick double‑tap swaps to the loop and I fix the queue in the background, like swapping a candle mid‑treatment. If you’re on Spotify instead, kill ‘Autoplay’ and set ‘Crossfade: 0s’ so it doesn’t wander while you reset.

That 4:10 serenade-to-salsa is my nightmare too, — I stopped it by turning off Apple Music’s Autoplay (the ∞ button) and locking the iPad in Guided Access so “Ocean Drift” can’t wander. I also stuck an NFC tag on the trolley that runs a Shortcut to set volume 15% and relaunch the playlist if it slips; on Spotify, kill Autoplay in Settings as the quick fix. Want the Shortcut file?
I keep a sticky note with “first sip time” and set a cheap 45‑minute timer; if my neurotic buzz hits before the bell, I blame email, after the bell I blame coffee — simple “base rates” sanity check… It cost me $4 and a week to learn one small cup before 9 a.m. is fine, but any refill before lunch nudges me edgy. Caveat: on lousy‑sleep days the timer lies, so I switch to half‑caf.
