Break Free From The HURRY-UP Habit

Break Free From The HURRY-UP Habit


In a profession where lawyers are expected to stay on top of an impossible workload, rushing through the day is a common habit.

Rushing from meeting to meeting, hurrying through client calls, preparing for cases, answering emails, and returning voicemails can be exhausting.

Hal said, "I'm always behind; there is not enough time!"

Anyone who leaves the office feeling like you will never catch up can feel defeated, produce anxiety, and even be depressed.?
