Do you typically find yourself working a full 7/8 hours per day? If not, how many hours are you really working?

I fluctuate myself. Some days are more, some are less. It’s never in a straight line though as I try to start early and take breaks throughout the day. I find that working sometimes for my productivity, but it can also be a challenge.

What about you?

I know I don't work a full 8 hours every day. My productivity ebbs and flows. Some days I've got the focus to work nonstop for 8-10 hours; others it's a struggle just to get 4-5 in. I don't worry about it too much because I always get my work done.

Probably 8-10 daily, honestly. I’m doing a full day of work but coming home and doing a few more hours at night. I hate getting overwhelmed with things piling up and find it hard to start the day with work clutter. So I spend time at night putting things in order.

I’m currently a third year in my small firm’s life sciences team. I’m not really stimulated by the work and although they say they have a lot of work, they’re not good at managing workload. I haven’t had much work on my plate even after asking many times for more than six months. I’m ready to move to a larger law firm. However, I am concerned how I’ll manage the workload as a mom to a toddler. The good thing about my firm is that they’re flexible with hours. Anyone have experience balancing?

When did you know your firm wasn't right for you? I'm not sure if it's just the stress of being a new attorney with a family or if my job isn't the right fit. I work in civil litigation and am consistently below my billables. I can't stay late because my kids need me and I can't work on the weekends because I have to maintain my house and take care of my kids. I'm being constantly told to work harder, stay later, etc but it's not practical. Or am I not approaching this with the right mindset?
