It is six o'clock. The work you planned to do this morning is still sitting there. Untouched.

In this episode I cover the Introduction of Time Management for Attorneys by Mark Powers and Shawn McNalis. The authors establish the framework at the heart of the entire book: there are two kinds of attorneys. Those who react to their day. And those who design it.

I walk through the reactive style checklist, the three root causes of reactive behavior that Powers and McNalis identify, which are time, money, and energy, and what the proactive attorney actually looks like in practice. I also share where I personally landed on the reactive scale, the Friday afternoon planning habit that has changed how I approach my week, and what happens when I skip it.

EP1 - Series Introduction

Are you an attorney who wants to reduce stress, reclaim your focus, and actually end your day on time? You are in the right place.

My name is Robert Bunn. I built my practice from scratch with a focus on estate planning. Rather than figure it out by trial and error alone, I committed to going deep on the books considered industry standards in law practice management, learning from them seriously, and sharing everything I discover along the way with you.

In this first episode I introduce myself, the channel, and the framework for this entire series. The first book I am covering, chapter by chapter, is Time Management for Attorneys by Mark Powers and Shawn McNalis, published by Atticus©.

After each chapter I share the most important takeaways, how they apply to building an estate planning practice, and how I am actually trying to apply them in my own practice right now. What is working. What is hard. What surprises me. No performance. No pretending I have it figured out.

In my attempt to help light the path for others, I am at the same time brightening my own. Join me on this journey.
