Time
is
a
lawyer’s
most
valuable
asset
—
but
are
you
using
it
wisely?
In
a
recent
episode
of
the
“Be
That
Lawyer”
podcast,
Mike
Chastaine
—
an
award-winning
lawyer,
speaker,
and
author
—
joins
me
to
share
strategies
for
maximizing
productivity,
growing
a
successful
practice,
and
maintaining
a
healthy
work-life
balance.
“There’s
no
such
thing
as
time
management,
because
you
don’t
manage
time,”
he
says.
“What
you
manage
is
your
conduct.”
Here
are
three
key
insights
from
our
conversation:
Take
Control
of
Your
Day
Rather
than
trying
to
manage
time
itself,
lawyers
should
focus
on
scheduling
focused
work
blocks,
minimizing
distractions,
and
prioritizing
high-value
tasks.
The
80/20
Rule
for
Law
Firm
Efficiency
Focusing
on
the
20%
of
tasks
that
drive
80%
of
your
success
can
significantly
improve
productivity
while
freeing
up
time
for
what
truly
matters.
The
Profit
First
Approach
to
Law
Firm
Finances
Structuring
finances
with
profit
as
a
priority
ensures
long-term
stability
and
sustainable
growth.
