1 - 2:30 p.m. CT

Does time ever slip through your hands? For many of us, our days in the office can quickly become out of control: a secretary calls in sick in the middle of a trial; a paralegal quits to move to another firm; a natural disaster disrupts the entire firm. Where do you start to get a handle on your daily life so that you can be prepared for the big issues? Join this teleseminar to get a step-by-step approach to getting organized. Meg Spencer Dixon's strength comes from her own experience as a law firm associate, one of many new lawyers who worked long hours and weekends to try to stay abreast of assignments. Dixon presents some of the time-honored management tools as they relate to legal practice. Attendees to this program should be able to:

-   Craft your own goals - for work, and, perhaps more importantly, for life
-   Apply those goals and use them as a blueprint for organizing your time
-   Keep your desk clutter-free, and effectively manage telephone and e-mail messages
-   Efficiently manage multiple tasks and projects
