Description: Are you drowning in deadlines, overwhelmed by an ever-growing to-do list, and struggling to find balance? Join Dr. Carey Heller for this essential class designed to equip attorneys with the fundamental skills and simple systems needed to take control of their time, maximize productivity, and significantly reduce stress. The class moves beyond theory to focus on actionable, the following practical strategies:
- Understanding the Basics: Grasping the core principles of effective time management, planning, and prioritization tailored for the high-demand legal environment.
- Building Your System: Setting up simple, low-friction systems to effectively track tasks, manage workloads, and create a reliable daily/weekly plan.
- The Flexible Schedule: Learning to strategically allocate time and — critically — incorporate the necessary flexibility to handle unexpected challenges, emergency client needs, and ensure the timely, stress-free meeting of all critical filing deadlines.
- Balancing the Scales: Gaining techniques for better navigating work-life balance, integrating personal life tasks into your planning, and optimizing your approach while working remotely.
- Efficiency & Wellness Tools: A brief overview of practical tools and desk setups (including sit/stand desks, walking pads, and more) that can immediately boost efficiency and support long-term physical health.
By implementing these principles, you can expect to enhance your efficiency, leading to higher-quality work product, improved client satisfaction, greater preparedness for court hearings, the potential for increased income through better billable management, and — most importantly — a substantial reduction in stress and feeling.
