Description

How can you transform your relationship with the billable hour from a source of stress into a tool for understanding and improving your practice? Many lawyers experience anxiety, dread, or frustration with billable hours, and for some, it even influences the decision to leave private practice. In this episode, we explore how to shift your perspective and see billable hours not as a burden, but as valuable information that can guide your professional growth and career satisfaction.

 

You'll gain practical strategies for working with billable hours in a way that reduces stress and increases clarity. You'll see how daily time tracking can reveal gaps and opportunities in your practice, how to align your billing targets with your long-term goals, and how to leverage this information to make intentional choices that support both your professional development and your well-being.
