Check each statement that was true for your practice during the past two months: I turned down or referred out more than 3 matters that I would have otherwise handled if I had the time. I worked at least two full weekends and/or two evenings past 9 p.m. on a weekly basis. I canceled two or more lunch dates with useful contacts, networking events or skills courses that are important to my practice that I would have attended if I had the time. I posted four times or fewer to my blog. I put off development of new marketing materials that I would have completed if I had the time. I missed two or more family or social events because I was working. I had to write off at least four hours of time a week due to writers’ block or other productivity issues. I failed to return client phone calls or emails within the period of time specified in my retainer letter because I was too busy. I had to seek an extension of time to comply with a mandatory filing deadline because I was too busy to meet it. I overlooked a filing deadline because I was so overloaded that I did not see it on my calendar. Your Name: Your Email:
