Some days the real challenge isn’t the workload but staying centered while everything shifts around you. Curious how others keep their balance when the pace refuses to slow down?

While difficult, sometimes creating intentional focus time and even 15-20 gaps between meetings or end of day focus to try and sort it out is how I manage. Sometimes some of the chaos is simply other's chaos and I ask whether I need to let it become mine or not.

Take time to step away from the work and make a priority list, always helps!

I remind myself that doing my best is all I can do. If that's not enough, that's not on me. I make sure to step back and take a break when I can, because seeing things with fresh eyes always helps.

Honestly, I just keep putting one foot in front of the other. The best you can do is hang in there and do as much as you can. I don't let anything outside my control get to me, and I focus on knocking out my to-do list.

When my brain starts going too fast because there’s so much coming at me I actually step away from my desk for a minimum of 10 minutes and I go do a quick meditation.

I find a quiet place, put in noise canceling earbuds and breathe while I meditate - I’ve even even done many of those because the area I have didn’t have quiet spaces any longer. I did them in a stairwell because usually people took the elevator.
When I returned to my desk, I was re-centered. My blood pressure was where it should be, and I could think clearly for the rest of the day.

I’ve been working at a rather prestigious midsized firm in a big city for almost a year and a half now. I have been having a lot of trouble picking up work from senior partners. We are required to bill at least 150 hours per month to meet our requirement. My months are typically only 110-130 hours. It seems like the senior partners already have their “go to” associate for things. Does anyone have any suggestions on how i can increase my workload? I reach out for work pretty much weekly.

Can any seasoned lawyer share tips and materials (i.e. books) which can help?
