Program Description

How to Manage Your Workload – Time, Task, Email & Distraction Management for Lawyers.  Is technology serving your practice, or are you a servant to technology?  Today lawyers are constantly distracted by legal technology, connectivity, electronic case information & discovery, and information overload … email, instant messaging, social media, phone calls, interruptions, etc.  Lawyers switch tasks on the computer nearly 600 times a day.  We are drowning in technology-based interruptions. These methods of communication are essential and, in fact, required by many jurisdictions, but they are also killing us if we don’t have the process and technology in place to deal with them!  These vital interruptions & technology distractions cause very smart people to underperform. In this program, you will learn how to take back control of your case deadlines, statute dates, task list, … and your day, week & month with practical methodologies that allow you to regain control of your day.
