How do you guys become more efficient? On a pretty research intensive project at the moment and struggling to be 80/20. Feels like I am not 'actively' thinking about the problem at hand and am constantly falling into a 'passive' mindset. When I do realise this, I switch back to active thinking. Have tried time boxing etc but hasn't really worked. Any advice on how to really ramp up your efficiency would be appreciated- specific to this but also in general🙏🙏

Passive mindset?

Can you expand on 80/20 in the context of your work? Are you just getting caught diving too deep on specific topics that aren’t relevant to your end goal?

I have a partner that calls me multiple times a day to talk about updates on our cases. Sometimes just to ask “anything to update me on?” He’s known across all of the associates for doing this. Most of the calls repeat information I’ve already provided in emails to him or the client. I normally bill this time as “strategize on” or “consider XYZ in further of” and it keeps getting appealed. Any advice?
