I do this Monday morning. I’m in house so it’s slightly different, but I go through my emails quickly first thing (I flag tasks and things to remember throughout the week) and then write them down based on categories (contracts to review, research projects, legal questions, corp matters etc) and then write deadlines (ASAP, EOD, EOW, EOQ etc) and then cross off as I go and add tasks as the week goes one. I find doing it on Monday makes sure I have everything from last week.

looking for some advice! I’m coming up on my 1 year at the company I work for. I am a General Manager of a mid-sized lodge, I manage about 12-15 employees and have no assistant manager. The job also requires you to live in property (rent free) because there is no 24/7 desk agent. Meaning every night at 9pm the after hours calls come to me. In the last 4 months I have started training new managers in the region and even going to other hotels to help onboard / open them. Continued in comments

Thoughts on stipulating to negligence from a plaintiff’s perspective? At first I thought it was a good idea because it obviously saves time and money and saves you from the possibility of your client receiving nothing. I practice in a contributory negligence state and my client wasn’t rear-ended she was side swiped while at a complete stop. Negligence is still fairly clear but I can envision a reality where a jury disagrees....

I'm watching the film "The Disruptors" and just crying (hellooooo emotional regulation issues). But it's so validating and frustrating at the same time. I've had a terrible several months at work, and I am relating so hard to the struggles even of the school kids in this. Like my boss is the teacher throwing me into the hallway because they are tired of me. It's also comforting to see who has excelled at their passion with it, even if I can't quite find mine and feel like I'm failing.
