How to Hack Your Time
Recently in Female Lawyers’ Club, we were fortunate enough to have the wonderful Vikki Yaffe talk to us about “How to hack your time.”
I commented at the start of the session that, a lot of the time, we don’t necessarily have a time management issue – we just have too many things to do. I think this is particularly the case in the law where very often we can’t shortcut things: if we bill by the hour, we have to physically spend a fixed amount of time working on things in order for us to achieve our targets or get paid. How very 19th century!

What I Wish I’d Known When I Started Out
A couple of weeks ago, I asked this question on LinkedIn:
“If you’re a senior female lawyer, can you let me know:
What is the one thing you wished you’d known earlier in your career?”
I received replies from many women across various roles and firms, and I am enormously grateful to those of you who took the time to reply. I have kept the replies anonymous as promised.
I have added my own thoughts at the end of the blog.
