We attorneys are always juggling multiple tasks. There are always client communications to respond to, court hearings or calls with opposing counsel to prepare for, court papers to write and submit, and marketing—and business development-related tasks to attend to, such as writing articles like this or attending networking events.

Given the stakes for not putting our best feet forward or not producing the best work product possible, we can easily find ourselves overworked, stressed, and burnt out when we do not properly manage our time. That not only prevents us from being the best attorneys and colleagues we can be, it also prevents us from being the best spouses, parents, children, and friends we could be.
