## Resource

In this episode of The Less Stressed Lawyer Show, host Evan Mack is joined by Olivia Vizachero, a former attorney turned life and business coach for lawyers. Together, they delve into the common pitfalls lawyers face when it comes to prioritizing their workload, particularly the tendency to avoid essential tasks like business development and administrative duties. Olivia explains how the mindset of prioritizing ”real work” over other important tasks creates a backlog and hinders progress. She offers practical strategies for shifting this mindset, such as math-based planning and setting firm boundaries. Listeners will learn how to identify avoidance patterns, the impact of inconsistent business development, and the importance of treating all work as equally significant. By the end of the episode, lawyers will have actionable insights to help them stop overthinking and start taking bold actions to enhance their practice and personal lives.
