Time Management &

Procrastination

Paralegals and other legal professionals tend to work well under pressure by nature, this means that we frequently put things off until the last minute. Also, simply due to the nature of the work we do, we are constantly multi tasking and racing against the clock.

But is this really helping us build the life we want to have? Wouldn't you prefer to live a life where you are more organized, happier, less stressed and simply not in emergency mode 24/7?

This course includes a mix of daily positive affirmations and mini lessons to get you get on track and stay on track.
