Do you mean doing things like taking 1 hour to send a 4 sentence email because you over analyze every word? The single largest time suck in my life.

I was like this for a while. At my first firm my managing partner would alway knit-pick my word choice and it gave me ultra anxiety. I eventually left for other reasons and but I treat emails more like small convos and never discuss anything major in them. I save that for phone calls, or notice/motions where it actually matters. I’m much calmer now and “breeze” through my 100+ emails a day. Ha

So stuck. What do I do? I joined this firm a year ago (4 yrs exp total) to grow/get more court/client exposure. Then 2 more-experienced associates were hired, pandemic, & all cases are divided between the other 2. I have no defined tasks except deficiency letters or the odd pro bono case. Boss claims it's mentoring. I still need to meet bill req.

Last wk Boss said I'll do more & my work was good, but today said I can't 2nd chair bc I don't have experience. I'm doing less now than my prior firm.
