Spring Cleaning Habits

Introduction

Almost every legal professional runs a busy practice. There are many files to run, and every day is filled with tasks. One of the downsides is that there is little time to undertake a review of the habits that make up your practice. It can be very easy to perform tasks in the way we always do, the way that we feel is fastest and most comfortable (I am certainly guilty). However, new technology, methods, and standards come along, and they can offer us better ways of doing things.

Send a letter in a less ideal way than is possible and it costs a few minutes. Send twenty letters a day and the same inefficiency can cost an hour. Repeat this every day for a year and it can cost weeks.

My pitch is that habits, like your office and your files, can use a good Spring Cleaning, and there is no better time than March to do this. Because we at Tracument focus on getting documents in and out of your office more efficiently, this month's blog post will focus on that part of your practice.

Not every suggestion below will apply to every person, but my hope is that a few at least are useful and help you pick up some time each day, allowing you more time to your files or to relax.

A final note: our software automates, tracks, and centralises much of what you will read below and can be a great solution, saving you hours per week, but there are also suggestions that you can implement easily, and in minutes.
