Backing up, clearing out emails, clearing the decks.
Whether you do it weekly, biweekly, or monthly, getting yourself a clean slate from which to work can be both emotionally satisfying and mentally stabilizing.
Here I am on the Tuesday that feels like Monday b/c we're following a holiday observance, and I plan to spend it doing all the things that fell by the wayside. But if we do this regularly (some people do it daily - I don't have that kind of drive!), we can learn a lot about or productivity and our business and see how close (or far) we are to (from) our goals.
If you wish to participate in the Zoom class - shoot me an email at my protonmail account - [email protected] - and I'll put you on the email list for the link. Class is Saturday, July 10, 2021, at noon Eastern.
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!
