How to Manage Your Workload – Time, Task, Email & Distraction Management for Lawyers - Get Organized and Get Ready for 2026!

Description:

Is technology serving you, or are you a servant to technology? Today, lawyers are constantly distracted by legal technology, connectivity, electronic case information, discovery, and information overload … email, instant messaging, social media, phone calls, interruptions, etc. Lawyers switch tasks on their computer nearly 600 times a day. In this practical, hands-on program, you’ll learn how to regain control of your time and attention before the next year begins. We’ll tackle the real-world challenges of distraction, email overload, and constant task switching (the average lawyer switches screens hundreds of times a day!) and show you proven systems to reduce mental clutter, improve concentration, and manage priorities effectively. You’ll walk away with a 2026-ready workflow that is grounded in proven time-management principles and powered by tools you already own, like Microsoft Outlook. Learn to set boundaries with technology, design focus blocks that actually work, and start the new year with clarity, control, and confidence.
