6.5 hours from my home to client site

30 min home to client site - local client

6 hours home to client

12 minutes.

11.5 hrs now, 11 ✈️ 0.5🚖. I miss my family.

I have 5 clients at 3 distinct geographical locations w/ 2 hours flight, 1 hour flight and 45 mins uber respectively when I travel. Add 45 mins in uber for the first one and 2.5 hours for second one. Add to this arriving airports early, delay etc, it’s a mess.

7.5 home to client (+3 hour time change)

3 hrs 45 minutes if flight is on time

Door to Door 7.5 Hours

1.5 hour flight and 1. 5 hour drive to the airport. 2.5 hours if I don't feel like dealing with O'Hare and drive to Indianapolis

Has anyone ever asked to be taken off of an account or project? For months, I've been working with the most difficult client with the most vicious attitude. Most of what they're frustrated about isn't even our fault. I was recently promoted and don't want to make myself look bad, but the thought of doing more work for them makes my stomach turn. Is this a valid reason to be taken off a project? I'm not used to working with such rude people.

How do you keep all of your notes-to-self organized? Not actual work product or drafts, but the kinds of things you jot down in meetings or as you’re working (e.g., “client prefers DE choice of law over NY” or “x agreement is best example of negotiated MSA”). I’m using OneNote, but I’m curious how others do it.

Bonus points if you have ADHD and you use this type of thing as a lifeline 🙃
