are there any other fed clerks out there that work, like, a ton? Maybe not quite biglaw hours on average... but averaging like 60hrs/wk, with very frequent weekend work? (I get very high praise/little criticism from my historically hard-to-please judge, so I don't think I'm just a slow worker, either...)

I hear this is abnormal; I suppose I'm just wondering HOW abnormal it is...

Best NYC growth equity shops for WLB and career progression?

Might be the wrong bowl but finding it extremely difficult to focus on work post busy season. It’s been 2 weeks since we filed and I’m still taking lots of naps and breaks (I’m talking like 3-4 cumulative hrs worked during the day). Idk if I’m taking longer to recover from busy season bc I’m getting old or if I’m over public accounting (but then where do i go). Tried to schedule time with a therapist but everyone has a months-long waitlist so next step might be trying to find a life/career coach

Still WFH? What are other chambers doing for task management? Our chambers has been keeping up with assignments, incoming emails needing judge’s eyes, and written orders, all through Microsoft Planner. We share PDFs through Sharepoint folders. Although we still email draft orders back and forth, the system seems to work well enough. We still aren’t operating at our previous capacity because it takes 10x the number of steps to get a motion heard or an order entered—90% of our workload.
