Treat it like an investment. Align every task with your firm’s mission.

✔️ Build rhythms, not just to-do lists
Systematize your week: block focus days, use async tools, and create deep work zones.

Structure protects your energy and mental clarity. Slack and email shouldn’t run your firm.

Speed comes from smooth systems—not rushed execution.
