Today I'm working on my to-do list. I'm not going to trust my memory on this one. I'm going tried and true, (*my Luddite is showing!), my paper to-do list.
I have a lot to get finished today - and since there are only about 150 pages that just showed up in my box last night, I have the time today to do it. So off I go.
I'm not dissing digital to-do lists or anything (I have them too) but for me, the joy that crossing things off brings is a real thing in my world!
What's your favorite way to manage your to-do list?
You all know I love giving back... and I've been speaking at the local law school for many years now, sharing with the students who will be future litigators how they can work WITH court reporters to create a truly excellent record.
I love doing this - and if you have the chance, please consider doing it in your area. The "baby" lawyers appreciated it and the next generation of court reporters will too!
We all love rituals - girls nights, massages, regular workouts... but what about our working rituals?
Do you have any that ease you into your productivity? Perhaps alleviate any anxiety?
Our job as a stenographer (or captioners) is filled with stressors and if we can develop rituals for ourselves to help limit those stresses, think how healthy, happy, and productive we can become?!
I love this profession... and I love sharing it. Wherever you are, in whatever period in your career you find yourself, be an amazing advocate! Introduce people to this incredible opportunity for someone who loves English, the law, computers, learning... Be the little pebble that creates the ripple in the pond!
