Time is your most valuable resource at a law firm, and once used, you can’t get it back. The best you can do is make sure you are spending it wisely. For attorneys, that means putting as many of those hours as possible toward billable tasks.
To get a handle on how you are truly spending your days, you need to track all your hours, not just your billable hours. Not sure why? Read this first.
Once you know where your time is being spent, you can implement solutions to
- Automate repetitive tasks
