[quote=Anonymous]I am drowning in a sea of emails. I have a relatively specialized, niche practice that services many clients of the firm across all practice groups, so I am inundated with requests for "quick" advice, which require anywhere from 1-5 hours per request. These little things add up and gobble up time. I find myself neglecting my 'real' clients. I am constantly behind. I have emails that are unread. Constantly feeling behind schedule or late on deliverables is making me crazy and adding 10x the stress I already feel. Looking for perspective here - am I just failing miserably at a very basic fact of life for a busy attorney? Or would anyone be overwhelmed at this level? I've been practicing 10+ years, so I'm not exactly new to this. So, on an average day, how many emails do you receive requiring some sort of response? (List serves and solicitations for translations services don't count). How do you triage? What are your strategies? [/quote]
