    Feb 11 2025

    Do you find yourself juggling too many tasks at once, struggling to make meaningful progress on any of them?

    In this episode, I dive deep into one of the core practices of the Kanban method: limiting work in progress, or WIP. We'll explore how taking on too many concurrent tasks can wreak havoc on your brain, your client experience, and your ability to keep your commitments. I also provide you with several practical tools and strategies for setting WIP limits in your personal work and your practice as a whole. By the end of this episode, you'll have a clear roadmap for regaining control of your workload and consistently delivering your best work.

  • 055. Fixing the Client Homework Bottleneck
    Feb 4 2025

    Do you dread assigning client homework, knowing it will likely stall your case for weeks or even months? Chasing down questionnaires and documents from clients can feel like a never-ending battle, leaving you frustrated and resentful.

    After years of working with law firms to improve their workflows, I've discovered that the client homework bottleneck isn't actually about the clients - it's about how we structure and support the assignments. In this episode, I'm sharing my proven six-part framework for optimizing client homework. Tune in because these techniques will help you get unstuck and achieve a more predictable, efficient flow of work, creating a better experience for both your firm and your clients.

  • 054. Action without Action with Tim Lennon
    Jan 28 2025

    Today, I'm excited to welcome Tim Lennon back to the podcast to explore the Taoist concept of Wei Wu Wei, or "action without action." Tim and I dive into why understanding and navigating obstacles is more important than trying to bust through them, why feedback loops are essential to making progress (and how to make those feedback loops more effective), and why preparation and intentionality are the keys to true agility. If you're looking for ways to work smarter, not harder, in your law practice, this episode is for you.
