[QUOTE="LM, post: 48529, member: 9535"] Thanks, [USER=2053]@NicN[/USER]. In terms of managing my workload day-to-day, the main way is through the effective use of my outlook calendar. I make sure it is always up-to-date (thanks to my wonderful PA) and block off time when I need to get a task completed. I also use a pen and paper and list out all the tasks I need to complete. I then tick each task off as I go. Making mistakes is an interesting topic to discuss. I have always taken mistakes to heart and it is an area I am always trying to improve on. For example, during my early years, I would go back to old emails I sent to see if I made spelling mistakes. If I had, I would beat myself up (not literally, of course). This is an incredibly self-destructive habit. However, I have learnt to control this urge, as I have realised it doesn't bring me any happiness nor does it improve me as a lawyer. When I notice a mistake, what I try to understand is why it happened and if needed, ask the relevant individual about improving so that it doesn't happen again. The same goes for when someone points out a mistake to me. Great question! [/QUOTE]
