Just coming off second chairing a two day trial by pro hac. Lead counsel was a complete mess. They know how to objection, how to introduced and admit evidence, what constituted hearsay (or how the exceptions applied) etc. it was so embarrassing and they wouldn’t let me do anything but hand them the exhibits. Most of which were inadmissible. 🤦🏽‍♂️

What do you do to automate you lifestyle/remove decision fatigue to reach your health and fitness goals? For example: I meal prep so I know calories and macros of all my meals without having to count each time M-F (unless going out with friends/SO) and I run first thing in the morning the same 4 days every week. I’ve found that making healthy habits a part of my lifestyle and routines makes them easier to stick to and would love any additional ideas!

Truly feeling like I’m just messing up all around but trying to give myself grace. How do you know if it’s just you or a part of the process?
