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.
