In a busy environment, you may have no time to put aside for thinking. You’re overwhelmed with cases. You need to move on and action the rest of the outstanding matters. Your day is filled with activities. Activities which are weighed up against your KPIs. You measure your productivity according to the number of documents you generate. You action so many cases during the week that you simply cannot dedicate yourself to thinking about a particular case. You are so busy that it’s hard to find time to take an overview of a case and to analyse it thoroughly. Even when you think you are close to being up to date with everything, you figure out that you are a few units short on reaching the billable target.
Put aside some time to “think” about your client’s case and formulate a strategy. The more time you invest into thinking, the better the outcome.
