But I Don't Have Time!

This blog posting is about rules and interruptions. The relatively small study cited showed that most people don't return the task they were working on before they were interrupted. What does this mean for law students and lawyers? It means sticking to the boundaries you need to accomplish your work, including what you need to do with your job search and networking, by sometimes turning off all communication, or using the time between classes wisely to accomplish small tasks or squeeze in your workout. Every law student is busy, and the pace of life will not slow, so learning to set boundaries so you can prioritize your needs and wants is a crucial skill for your own professional development.
