Day one of "Me Time." Was supposed to start yesterday but a senior associate quit. Just got a hydrafacial. Waiting for my massage now. Did some retail therapy in between. Hubby will take me to lunch when I get back home. Some s3xy time this morning. If I can workout before daycare lets out, I will.

Because this app shadow bans if you use certain words.

This sounds exhausting. Is this all what you REALLY want to do or is it performative/what you want to want to do? (More power to you if so but your rest day is me at like peak effort lol.)

The only part that's exhausting is gonna be working out. My husband is handling the driving. And I just lay there for the facial and massage. (OK the s3xy time was effort but that's fine.)

So far, so good. Might sauna later.

I think I had forgotten how restful weekends used to be before having a kid. Spending a full day by myself was a nice reminder. And this weekend has been absolutely exhausting by comparison. My husband's idea of fun is all of us cleaning the garage together. 😭. Can't wait for Monday.

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.
