    OMG! Totally get that feeling of inadequacy when work is quiet. Also slowly getting back into my busy season. It's really the curse of the legal profession in my opinion: being stressed when busy and when quiet. 😫🙈

      I have not. As a transactional lawyer, I don’t go to court so I doubt it’s in the cards for me.

    Too much work or too little is stressful. I had both feelings with my clinics. Communicating with my colleagues helped but I doubt a firm would be as accommodating

      You feel me! It depends on who you work with. I think for me I’m in my own head. My mentors have assured me things are fine but i best myself up, lol

    Thanks for the book suggestion, Angela. There seems to be a 3rd edition of the book, does it matter if we buy the 2nd or 3rd edition? What's your take on this? Thank you. God bless!

    It’s so interesting that you sometimes feel inadequate when work is quiet. I work in HR and my department is almost always really busy, so I appreciate when we have quiet days.

    • @TheAspiringBoss
      @TheAspiringBoss  2 года назад

      I think it has a lot to do with the billable hour requirement. Knowing i have to meet that and low key exceed that in order to be deemed productive keeps me on my toes

    • @Demahevans

      @@TheAspiringBoss oh yeah that makes sense especially if there’s a minimum billable hour requirement that you’re required to make. That would stress me out.

    @Sheenahairston455 2 года назад

    I agree!! When I’m not busy, I get anxious. Feeling like I haven’t been a great attorney and my clients are unhappy. I feel like been busy is indicative of my value. That mindset sucks! So I am working on changing that.

    I’m a 1L now, but tax accounting is very similar to what you mentioned in the video. I always felt pressure to find more work when I had none to hit the billable hours requirements and show that I was a hard worker. Way more stressful than having too much work for sure

    • @TheAspiringBoss
