I try to take the week before traveling off so I can "do all the things" - doesn't always work, but this is a busy week, only writing ONE day. Lots of projects.
If you're a student at West Valley, I'll see you on Wednesday morning via Zoom!
If you took a certification exam this week... breathe and let it go.
If you've got projects, organize them and then prioritize them. This is your week to get things done!
I'll see you on the road, most likely via my YouTube and Instagram channels.
Have a GREAT week!
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!
