I enter my office and immediately receive a text. The voice-message icon signals messages waiting, several new emails are in my inbox, and my land line rings. This is the reality of today’s work life. As attorneys struggle with escalating demands and an ever-increasing pace, it’s worthwhile trying to find some work-life balance.

Daily stresses begin the minute the alarm clock rings. Immediately, work and family demands begin pulling lawyers in multiple directions. As a result, lawyers tend to organize life into manageable schedules. Sometimes this daily routine can make life too monotonous, even for workaholics. Finding extra time for new experiences can be challenging.
