Yes. I am painfully aware of what’s happening but by that point I’m too far gone in the tunnel to care. It sucks because I’m likely keeping up or exceeding the thought process on the topical area where I’m perceived to be “stupid”.

In a couple of cases, the client absolutely loved the "more complicated" output & recommendation, which led to follow-on, longer-term engagements!

uplifting

Been there! Typically I then get irritated when I have to explain what’s going on…

I recently moved from litigation to transactional and am struggling to reach billable targets. In litigation it was no problem hitting 1800+ hours but don’t see how I’m going to come anywhere close to that in a transactional role.

I’m mostly sitting around all day waiting for work that doesn’t take long to complete (though at my desk for 10-12 hours/day). Is this normal? Suggestions on how to keep busy other than asking for work and having good work product?

How do you deal with the following - 1) lack of general organization in life, note taking, keeping track of your relationships and 2) attention to detail. These 2 things have been bothering me a lot. We all are smart as hell but silly mistakes such as spelling mistakes, broader checks to be done on the deck is killing me. Also I feel the lack of organization in personal life blows into professional as well. If you are a consultant how do u deal with it ?
