## Resource

The biggest threat to your law firm’s productivity is unlikely to be a lack of effort, but rather too much complexity. If your firm feels like it is running on hard mode, the real solution may be learning how to simplify capacity. In this episode, I use the Tetris strategy to explore how different practice areas, workflows, and client demands create distinct “shapes” competing for your finite capacity. I explain why simplifying the number of workflows in your practice, or more intentionally compartmentalizing complexity, can make your firm more sustainable, efficient, and scalable.
