Share with me your tips to staying organized. I have a physical planner that I jot down hours for time entry. I’ve tried excel job trackers and one note. I struggle staying organized. It wasn’t a big deal as an associate bc I typically only had 1-2 jobs going at a time. Now that I have 4-6 jobs going at anytime I’m realizing I need a new system before this next busy season.

I use one note to keep track of everything that is open for a job. I set aside 30 minutes- an hour each Friday to go through all jobs and update the one note.

Weekly on sundays I write out priorities based on deadlines/ importance. Every night before I log off I make a to do list for the next day so I know where to start and the 1 most important task that is non negotiable happens first as soon as I check emails and do the quick important things like setting up meetings.

I suggest getting the book eat that frog. You can find it on Amazon. Game changer
