There is a lot we cannot control about our lives, but we can develop good habits to improve our work life. A recent article from Reuters highlights five habits specifically designed to help lawyers. First, make the most of institutional knowledge. Tap into the knowledge of colleagues to get a head start on new tasks. Second, stay informed and build accuracy checks into your workflow. The law is constantly changing; developing a process for staying informed will save time and heartache. Third, sharpen your legal research skills. Learn how to effectively research a legal issue and utilize trusted sources of information. Fourth, never leave your work vulnerable. Take advantage of available resources to make sure your work is ironclad. Fifth, believe in yourself. Once you’ve done your due diligence and made certain your work is as solid as possible you have earned the right to move on to the next task with confidence.
