Deep dives

Understanding Work as Flow

Seeing work as a flow rather than a series of static tasks is an essential mindset shift for busy legal professionals. When attorneys are overwhelmed, they often view their workload as unmanageable objects on a to-do list, losing sight of how tasks connect within a broader process. By recognizing work as a dynamic flow, attorneys can gain clarity on how each task influences and is influenced by others, enabling smoother workflow management. This holistic perspective allows teams to identify bottlenecks and improve the efficiency of their processes, leading to better outcomes for their clients.
