As corporate counsel, we are constantly asked to spend time for others in the company. When you arrive at the office in the morning, emails and documents have already piled up on your desk overnight, and there is already a line of people at the door. The only thing you can think of is to grab a coffee and whittle down the list so you can get a breather. But once you do get a moment, “ding.” Another email asking you to put out a fire interrupts your lunch plans.

By the end of the day, you have no idea how the time has passed, and the priority is to go home and have some time for yourself and your family. Cooking for dinner or going to the gym are out of the question.
