Ep #205: Essentials of Productivity for Lawyers

The Joyful Practice for Women Lawyers with Paula Price | Essentials of Productivity for Lawyers

Are you constantly searching for the perfect productivity app to manage your overwhelming to-do list? As lawyers, we often find ourselves drowning in tasks, with our to-do lists spawning their own to-do lists. The quest for the ultimate productivity solution seems never-ending, but what if the answer isn’t another app or system?

 

In this episode, I reveal what a renowned productivity expert considers the ultimate productivity app—and it might surprise you. The solution isn’t about cramming more tasks into less time or finding magical efficiency hacks. Instead, it’s about fundamentally reframing how we approach productivity itself and making conscious choices about what truly deserves our attention.

 

I share a four-step process to transform your relationship with productivity, helping you move from mindlessly checking boxes to intentionally creating a practice and life aligned with your deepest values. This approach puts you back in the driver’s seat of your schedule instead of letting external demands control your time. If you’re tired of feeling like you’re constantly running on a treadmill without making meaningful progress, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on what productivity really means.
