NJSBA Family Law Section

Good afternoon Family Law Section members,

On Thursday, Dec. 16, NJICLE will present Webcast- Productivity Bootcamp: Time and E-Mail Management for Lawyers from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

Learn how to elevate your practice by spending more time on the right things and better managing the unrelenting flow of electronic communication.

Join the ranks of hundreds of New Jersey attorneys who have taken this course and now know how to manage and organize their time and information flow more effectively. Learn how to practice more efficiently so you have more control over your life and career.
While none of us can “get,” “have,” or “make” more time, we can learn to manage our environment, routines, boundaries, and choices more wisely as we move through our days.

At this seminar, you will learn, among other critical skills, how to prioritize, organize, delegate, and minimize interruptions so you can devote more time to serving clients and developing new ones – while being less stressed and more effective in the process. You will also learn specific strategies, tactics, and tools to help you get far greater control of your e-mail and texts.

Bill Jawitz of SuccessTrack, LLC, teaches Productivity Bootcamp. Bill is a legal consultant with over 15 years of experience coaching attorneys to improve their productivity and profitability in an entertaining and approachable way.

PROGRAM AGENDA
9:00 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.
10:00 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.
11:00 Break
11:30 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.
12:10 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 will not only enhance outcomes and efficiency, your reputation for effectiveness and delivering strong value will grow as well.
12:50 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 are buying back your valuable time. We will get you on track with solid organizational systems for all your physical and electronic information. It will put your firm on solid ground. You will free up time and resources and earn yourself well-deserved peace of mind.
