# The lawyer week

URL: https://gocutline.com/templates/lawyer-week/

A weekly schedule for lawyers: three hours of drafting and research every morning from 08:00, client calls after lunch, time entries done every Friday and training at 06:30 three days a week.

## 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.

## Questions

**How do lawyers protect deep work?**
They put it in the calendar like a hearing. A blocked morning is easier to defend than a free one.
