We love going to convention, don't we? It's the time that, yes, we get our needed continuing education hours, for sure, but it's also when we get to see the vendors and their new offerings, learn about something new and exciting, go to a new place for us, and best of all, see our friends that we've made through the years.
But how do you arrange the week prior to going to convention so that you can get the best experience AT convention? Consider blocking some pre-convention time off to manage production, your emails, household and family tasks such that you can be ABSOLUTELY READY and RELAXED for your convention experience. You'll be tired when you get home, but it's a "good tired"!!!
(Yes, it's "Pi" day so we have a pie in the thumbnail - yes, I'm a geek.)
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?!
