Learn how to spend less time on non-issues & more time generating income!
While it is common to speak about “time management,” the simple truth is that you cannot manage time. No one can. Yet you can quite effectively manage yourself — and your behaviors and choices — as you move through the day. Indeed, if “time management” is a misnomer, “time management for lawyers” is a veritable oxymoron. Yet, as the practice of law and the requirements of business grow increasingly complex, it becomes even more important to spend your time most productively.
Taught by Bill Jawitz of SuccessTrackEsq., a legal consultant with over a decade of experience counseling attorneys on time management, marketing and productivity issues, this informative new half-day seminar will help you become be more productive, teach you how to stay on track, and show you how to avoid making costly mistakes and organizational oversights that could result in ethics problems!
Learn effective skills to spend your time more productively, including how to:
• Take Control of Your Schedule - When you take control of your schedule, you’ll plan your time based on your key priorities — no longer responding to what is most urgent, but to what is most important. Whether it’s marketing, firm management, client work, or making more time for your children, for example, you’ll work so that those tasks are front and center. As you learn to apply a handful of basic tactics — batching staff questions, use of do-not-disturb project time, effective calendaring, daily and weekly planning, etc. — you’ll find that your calendar begins to be something that works for you instead of something you’re fighting against.
• Prioritize and Delegate Effectively - If you are one of the many attorneys who has a love/hate relationship with the notion of delegation — longing for its benefits but stymied by how to realize it for your firm — we will help you master the systems to ensure that you and others in your firm delegate work properly.
• Design Case Flow Systems - when you design and implement case flow templates that are aligned with your firm’s practice management software, you are setting the basis to know where each part of the file resides at any point in the course of representation. You’ll have prompt access to information on status, deadlines, and benchmarks. And both capacity and speed of production will increase.
• Conduct Efficient Meetings - Develop substantial meetings skills that you can apply to all your meetings — internally, with clients, with referral sources, or where you serve on community or other boards. You’ll not only enhance outcomes and efficiency, your reputation for effectiveness and delivering strong value will grow as well.
• Organize Your Physical and Electronic Information - each step you take toward heightened organization will provide you with immediate benefits. Simply having the right storage within easy reach, for example, can mean the difference between successfully managing a paper-heavy workflow or suffering the debilitating effects of low-level chaos. You’re buying back your valuable time. We’ll get you on track with solid organizational systems for all your physical and electronic information. It will put your firm on solid ground. You’ll free up time and resources, and earn yourself well-deserved peace of mind.
