[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am an attorney and I work 3 days a week. No nights. No weekends. The key I think is not taking on too much (only take assignments that you can finish in those three days or long term assignments that you can work on the next week) and reminding people of your part time schedule constantly and setting expectations. If you start doing work at home, people will expect that they can push unrealistic amounts of work on you and you'll just suck it up and do it.

Be honest with people about your time constraints. I have had to tell partners "I can't work on that until next week because my baby is really high maintenance and it's impossible for me to get anything done at home."

Good luck. I love my 3 day a week schedule. [/quote]

Are you at a firm and what size is the firm?  I can't see this flying where I work, even for a part-time schedule, because of how work flow patterns go.  I would be interested to know what kind of law allows this kind of predictable work flow management. [/quote]
