Why it works
- Hard thinking in the morning, before calls take over.
- Calls grouped in one window means clients still reach you, just not all day.
- Weekly time entries beat trying to remember at month end.
Make it yours
- In court a lot? Move deep work to the days you are not.
- Enter time at the end of each block if your firm needs it daily.
