Happy New Year! I'm feeling pretty optimistic about the new year, at least on a personal level. I like the idea that it's a time to focus on self-improvement and resetting goals. I'm not sure if it'll be a good year in a general sense, but I'm determined to make the most of it.

Good for you!

Love that mindset. It’s nice to head back feeling refreshed and optimistic, especially with a clear focus on growth. Hoping 2026 brings good momentum for you and everyone else too.

I admire your positivity! I’m excited to get a fresh reset on a few long projects that have been kicking my butt

Anyone have slow months where you burn through a lot of your allotted pro bono/professional development hours to keep hitting minimum daily hours? The past few weeks have been like this for me.

I’ve been asking partners if I can assist in any projects so I can fill my plate, but I’ve only gotten small (4-6 hour) tasks handed my way.
