How Attorneys Get More Done in Less Time

Universally, attorneys have a challenge judging how long projects will take. We underestimate nearly all of the time and don’t get as much done as we would like. Does that sound familiar to you? If so, I totally get it.

We all want to fit more in our day, typically with less than successful results which leads to frustration and guilt. Ugh.

The damage to your psyche, confidence, and wellbeing is real when you try to squish in too much client or CEO work into your day. I know you know! So, what do you do? Read on….

Smart hiring will reduce: ibuprofen purchases, “why me” crying episodes, the rapid outflow of cash better spent on pepperoni rolls in Pittsburgh’s Strip or the Reading Terminal, and wasted time that could be spent watching the 1978 Steeler season with your bubble mates.

Formula 168: How Lawyers Create the Life They Want

As you look to create, build, or transform your law firm, start first by identifying clearly the life you want. The key to happiness and fulfillment is to pinpoint that ideal life and then build your law firm to serve that life – not the other way around.

30 Seconds from Death: The Formula for Being a Happier Lawyer

On a cold Tuesday afternoon, just three years after I graduated from law school, I heard code red called in the ER. The code was for me.
