Have you ever been stuck, wondered which direction you should choose? Have you felt overwhelmed with choices or just tired?
I'm one of those people who has to learn a lesson over and over and over again, and the main lesson I'm continually repeating is to get out of my own way and let things HAPPEN.
People who work in our profession are doers, pretty much "Type A" personalities (control freaks? No, I did NOT say that!), and very motivated and driven. But sometimes we can be given many options and in our desire to do all the things we can get overloaded and bogged down.
Take a step back. Breathe. Reassess your goals, the direction you're headed and if you aren't happy, redirect. You get to make your own way - but we're here to support you in your choices!
Happy St. Patrick's Day! And another Monday. I'm still dragging with the time change so I'm starting later in the day than normal. But I'm excited to start a new week with so many projects, a trip to convention, some consulting gigs, some volunteering. I think that's what I love so much about what we do, y'all. Every day, every week, every month can be an adventure! Ain't it grand? (Now I just need to find time for a nap)

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?!
