Unproductive

It's been an "unproductive" week.

That can feel "bad" when #thebillablehour defines productivity in your world.

I struggle with the guilt of low-billing days.

Even though I know they happen,

and often for good reason.

This week, I've:

🏆 Taught a class on lawyer well-being at the University of Wisconsin Law school.

🏆 Led the first, post-pandemic all-associate meeting for my firm's Milwaukee office.

🏆 Connected with partners and associates in real life--spontaneously and planned.

🏆 Given myself space for a break and time to address the life happening around me.

Yes, I need to catch up.

Yes, I still need to meet my #billablehourrequirement.

Yes, these non-billable things are "wins" from this week.

Do you ever feel guilty for being "unproductive"? What are some "not productive" wins you've had lately?
