Hello Ann,
I really enjoy your podcast, I wish I had access to all the wonderful information you ‘re giving when I first started my paralegal career, which I left in 2008 and is looking to get back into, that ‘s why your podcast and classes are so valuable . So please don’t stop.

I am enjoying the podcasts. I found these procrastinator tips to be super timely for me. I especially needed that reminder to speak up and not stew. If I do not speak up, no one is aware of how the situation is impacting my workload and/or my attitude. I am putting a sticky on my monitor right now! Thank you!

  So happy to hear that, Victoria! As I write this comment, I’m working on a podcast episode to help with paralegal burnout. Look for it to be out in a few weeks. Can I borrow your sticky note idea?

    Borrow away! Some of my best practices are a modification of someone else’s advice/tip to me, so I definitely do not mind sharing. I look forward to more podcasts!
