Practical Time Management for Lawyers
with Irwin Karp
Friday, Feb. 1, 9 a.m.-4:30 p.m.
6 personal management credits (limit six per three-year reporting period)
Oregon Convention Center, Portland
Lawyers are notorious for completing work at the last minute as they focus on deadlines. Start the year with the goal of taking control of your workload, managing a busy schedule, meeting deadlines with less stress, and making the workday more productive. This fast-paced, entertaining seminar provides practical strategies and techniques to help you: take control of your day with effective planning and scheduling; manage competing demands with a minimum of stress; handle time-wasters and interruptions that drain productivity; eliminate clutter and manage information overload — including all that e-mail; set up files to find things when you need them; and delegate, communicate and use support staff more effectively.
Leave this seminar with a personal action plan for three key areas you identify as needing improvement — and capture the enthusiasm to keep your resolution to work more efficiently.
