FINDING MORE TIME IN YOUR HECTIC PRACTICE
Pamela DeNeuve
Because THRIVING in law isn’t just about long hours—it’s about strategic focus, strong well-being, and celebrating each milestone
Meet Rachel
Rachel worked long hours.?She arrived home after her children were in bed.
The problem was, she didn't get a lot done.?
She was spending a lot of time shuffling papers and moving stuff around on her desk.
When Rachel described her problem, I had much compassion as she explained her situation to me.
Rachel Speaks
"Pamela, I find myself starting and stopping things, never finishing anything, and moving on to the next emergency.?
I can easily find myself working on up to three things at once.
The pace is so fast at the office, and non-billable tasks keep popping up and taking my time.
I find myself at the end of the day with many deadlines looming, and I have hardly begun.
I dig in and work nonstop to meet a deadline.
Meanwhile, other cases end up in an emergency mode.
I go from one emergency to the next.
I work long hours trying to catch up on my billing. It is an endless cycle."
