It is literally painful, thankless, grunt work

Nothing worse than when I’m in a meeting with a bunch of PPMDs and find myself being the guy taking the notes. 😐

My rec is to find a method that works for you. As you progress you’ll be dealing with more info not less. Method I prefer is Bullet Journalling.

I have a partner who routinely ignores emails or responds to them several weeks later. He has to approve every single document sent to the client or the court, which means you have a physically go to his office to ask him to review something. Half of the time you go to meet with him in person, he’s either on a call or otherwise busy. I find that this basically creates more work and makes meeting deadlines extremely difficult. Is this normal?
