According to Reid Trautz, Senior Director of the Practice & Professionalism Center, lawyers must balance the following 3 roles to be more efficient and productive:
.
Lawyer
Manager
Entrepreneur
.
As a lawyer, we need to competently perform the legal work that clients hire us to do. As a manager, we need to control our workflow and clients to ensure efficient processing. As an entrepreneur, we need to organize, manage, and handle business development.
.
My favorite role is the Entrepreneur. I love organizing and researching ways to make my business more streamlined and efficient. What do you think your “Triangle of Success” looks like?’

Treat your employees as volunteers, because that’s exactly what they are. They volunteer the best parts of themselves – their time, their hearts, and their minds.
.
I’m currently reading the updated version of “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” (certainly on my top 10 favorite book list). This idea really struck a heartstring. I can’t thank the women I work with enough for the time they spend helping me run (and build) this business. Thank you, Brooke (@brookegalonek) and Emily (@em_4_Iowa). ️

Intentionally putting wellness on your “to-do” list increases productivity!
.
The American Immigration Lawyers Association (“AILA”) recently reposted a video of Ritu Goswamy, an AILA member and productivity consultant for lawyers, which identifies three wellness tips for increased productivity:
.
1. Take an actual lunch break;
2. Connect with nature; and
3. Move your body.
.
I have incorporated 2 out of the 3 suggestions. I do intermittent fasting from 8pm – 3/4pm (so, no actual lunch break). I strictly follow a modified version of “The Amazing Day” schedule from “The 5am Club,” which consists of the 90/90/1 rule, the 60/10 method, and the second wind workout (“2WW”).
.
Do you intentionally put wellness on your daily “to-do” list? If so, what’s your strategy for feeling good?

I was recently reading an article featured by American Immigration Lawyers Association on 31 ways to attack procrastination and change your mindset in regards to starting and completing challenging tasks. The article featured this quote by Sigmund Freud that stood out.
.
I read books every day, throughout the day, on self-help, personal development, business development, etc. I absolutely love them. It is my way of finding inspiration for all aspects of my life. What is your go-to way to seek inspiration?

Exciting news for naturalization applicants! Applicants filing Form N-400 can now request an original or replacement Social Security number (SSN) or card and update their immigration status with the Social Security Administration (SSA) without visiting an SSA office. This new option, available in the 04/01/24 edition of the form, streamlines the process for new citizens, eliminating the need for a separate SSA visit.
