There is no doubt that the pandemic has exacerbated the mental health crisis in the legal community. According to an ABA survey of 3,200 attorneys in May 2021, 70 percent reported that the pandemic had adversely impacted their mental health.
Researchers have discovered that our environment can positively or negatively impact our ability to complete tasks, as well as our overall mental health. No matter how competent of an attorney you are, disorganization can negatively impact how you practice law.
Do any of these sound familiar?
- You don’t always know what you need to do next.
Your desk is somewhere under a pile of papers (or if you work from home, clothes and kids’ toys).
You’re spending too much time searching for client files.
You are missing billable hours on invoices because you are not regularly tracking time.
You are behind on your client’s billing.
Organization for lawyers and law firms is not something to be taken lightly; it is an essential skill that can improve your mental health and the long-term success of your practice. When you work more efficiently and productively, more time can be spent building strong cases, delivering great client service, or even improving your work-life balance.
