There has to be a way to handle the volume of work we have and stay calm and collected. Has anyone hacked the code on being regulated during chaos?

Sub divide tasks. Start a small thing for five minutes. You never get into the procrastination loop. The higher the volume of work I have the more productive I am.

Also get a job where you are not micromanaged. I was doing extremely well at one workplace. Then they had a few slacker neurotypical. The partners became micromanagers. The same environment made me sick to the stomach. It is important that you take control of your workflow.

Mini deadlines are clutch.

You do both. You delegate to others but you need sequencing deadlines. For instance, if a task has been broken down into 10 steps, shared between you and others, make sure your responsibilities are sandwiched between others and make sure you have that mini-deadline for each step.

Discovery comes in, my paralegal calendars all deadlines, gives me a hard print copy, and gets/makes the shells; the next step is I need to review and make a list of objections that they’re going to input and give them a list to send to the client to inquire. They cannot do their next step until I do. They also know it’s their ass if they blow their mini deadline, even if it’s my fault. So they will hound me incessantly well in advance of the deadline.
