I like to start Mondays with my coffee and a look at what the week holds. Of course, if I'm on the record, then it will have to wait, but I'm fortunate that MOST of my work is not scheduled for Monday mornings.
I like having a road map of what's next up in queue for deadlines, appointments, projects, etc. I'm usually pretty easy-going and can pivot without too much stress, but I like to have an idea of where I'm supposed to end up by the end of the week.
My Monday morning coffee and calendaring session helps. How do YOU take stock of your Monday action plan?
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?!
