6 Valuable Ways to Maximize Your Work Week

Are you looking for ways to maximize your work week and have a more productive mindset at work? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, hosts Jim and Tyson discuss the most valuable parts of their work week. Both speak to 3 things they do each week to help with productivity. For individuals who own their own company, it is important to spend some time at the beginning of your week going over your priorities and to-dos. Jim talks about how spending 15 minutes with his personal assistant each week allows him to know who he needs to connect with, what meetings he has and go through his emails. Having that support allows you to delegate your tasks to other people so you can take some of that workload off of you. Physical and mental health is so important to ensure you have a good work week. Both Tyson and Jim speak to the importance of prioritizing self care before they start the day, which helps get them focused and in the right mindset. Whether it be working out first thing in the morning or having a standing massage session in the middle of the week, these self care moments allow for you to recharge and refocus to continue your day. Having weekly leadership team meetings is a huge part of not only having a successful company, but ensuring members of your team are on the same page and working well. Think of these meetings like a football team huddle, where you get in, figure out your game plan and “break” to get back to business. It allows for everyone to understand the goals for the week and speak to any wins or challenges. For those in the legal field, mastermind sessions are a great way to network and learn from others. It is a chance to share your struggles with other law firm owners who will advise you on how to work through them. Implement some of these strategies into your work week to achieve more productivity!
