I have so many days like this…I don’t know if it’s burnout, ADHD, or just lack of discipline but it all makes me feel like a failure and it’s a huge stressor! I have to bill at least 8 more hours over this weekend 😔😩 is this how it’s going to be the rest of my career bc I can’t handle this. Anyone have any advice!?

Me too. I think it’s because I already knew I had to work this weekend so I have no motivation.

I’ve been trying a new thing where I only allow myself to work during the week so that I feel the pressure to get everything done. If I’m not under the gun it’s hard to be motivated. Restricting my available working hours has helped me out that pressure on myself.

I know this isn’t always doable and there will be weekends where I can’t avoid working, but the mentality of only having the weekdays to get stuff done has helped!

That’s a great mentality!! 👍🏼

Signs I’m getting old: I tripped and fell, and somehow partially tore my ACL. Have to figure out if I want surgery, and how to tell the team—at the very least, I’ll need a ton of PT. I’m a first year associate and the only woman on all of my teams, so I’m freaking out about how this is going to reflect on me. I know I’m overthinking this, health comes first, etc…but I’m still so scared to tell people.

Fellow millennial lawyers: tell me, in general terms, 1 or 2 clients you acquired and how you acquired them. I feel like the suggested strategies for developing business are always the same: network, build your brand (hate this phrase), market yourself on LinkedIn, etc. Does any of this work? Seems to me to that most business development comes from long-standing contacts (e.g. your childhood best friend is now CEO and needs legal services), so I’m curious how other attorneys developed business.

They did not mention when someone performing a particular role was a man but they did point out when it's a woman, happened about four times. Odd, no? What would you make of this?
