Time and workplace management for lawyers

"Every day, lawyers face multiple deadlines, a sometimes dizzying array of projects that must be managed, and - inevitably - fires that must be put out before they rage out of control. Too easily, one can become overwhelmed or disheartened. Merely putting in more hours doesn't always help - and often there simply aren't enough hours in the day to deal with all these demands. Adopting a 'survival' mentality, and merely battling on, does little to mitigate the overload and leads to a highly stressful and personally unrewarding work life. Without good strategies in place for coping, many lawyers will never quite feel in control of their days. Fortunately, Dr. Amy L. Jarmon provides those strategies, and can help you regain control over your demanding daily schedule - and let you begin to make time for a fulfilling and satisfying personal life. With practical strategies and realistic, specific steps for implementing those strategies, Dr. Jarmon will help you be more productive, make better decisions, make better use of your time, and even help those around you work more efficiently. This book is meant for both newer lawyers with less work experience, and more experienced lawyers who are simply seeking ways to be more productive"--Cover.
