I assume that you mean organizing precedent forms, not tracking open projects. I keep a folder of forms in my work laptop organized by type. I rename them with helpful notes like "Delaware Operating Agreement - Multi-member, profits only interest, board of Managers, tech company (08-30-23)". If I need to circulate it, I will cleanse the form before doing so.

This is most likely inefficient and old school, but I keep a spreadsheet open with the top tasks that require follow up.
I also will set reminders for follow ups in my outlook. So far it helps pretty well.

Junior associate here, should I ask for more money if my firm is about 10-15 percent less hours but about 30 percent less pay? The gap will never be closed to the top pay scale at my firm but when I decided to come to this firm the pay difference was about 15 percent and not 30. Would appreciate any thoughts on how to go about bringing this up without pissing people off because I love the firm and do not want to leave
