مدیریت زمان و محل کار برای وکلا

Too many lawyers cope with their workloads by just spending longer hours at the office. This valuable book will provide strategies that will help you gain control over your professional life so that you can still have a fulfilling personal life outside the office. You'll find loads of practical advice for making time and work management decisions that will lead you to become more productive during your workday. It's written for both new lawyers with minimal work experience as well as lawyers who have practiced for several years and want to become more productive. In addition, you'll find appendix material that will help bring sanity to your home life, and help you reduce stress and relax. "Every day, lawyers face multiple deadlines, a sometimes dizzying array of projects that must be managed, and - inevitably - fires that must be put out before they rage out of control. Too easily, one can become overwhelmed or disheartened. Merely putting in more hours doesn't always help - and often there simply aren't enough hours in the day to deal with all these demands. Adopting a 'survival' mentality, and merely battling on, does little to mitigate the overload and leads to a highly stressful and personally unrewarding work life. Without good strategies in place for coping, many lawyers will never quite feel in control of their days. Fortunately, Dr. Amy L. Jarmon provides those strategies, and can help you regain control over your demanding daily schedule - and let you begin to make time for a fulfilling and satisfying personal life. With practical strategies and realistic, specific steps for implementing those strategies, Dr. Jarmon will help you be more productive, make better decisions, make better use of your time, and even help those around you work more efficiently. This book is meant for both newer lawyers with less work experience, and more experienced lawyers who are simply seeking ways to be more productive"--Cover General observations Know your legal environment Basic work management parameters Basic time management parameters How to deal with competing demands on your time How to manage staff effectively, ask for assistance, and delegate Basic parameters for research and writing projects Telephones, e-mail, and social media Time and work management away from the office Additional commitments you must manage Additional comments for non-firm lawyers Additional comments for solo practitioners Balancing your professional and personal lives Preventing burnout.
