Sticky Situation: Whatever Happened to Sticky Notes?

If you’re old & decrepit like me, you probably get to wondering, from time to time, what ever happened to sticky notes – which were once ubiquitous in offices across the world. 

 

Well, much like the dinosaurs, sticky notes have not ended, just changed. 

 

There are plenty of places where you can create electronic sticky notes. 

 


Project/task management softwares, like Trello, offer kanban views, which are like electronic sticky notes. 

 

Notetaking softwares, like Evernote, and even Microsoft OneNote or Google Keep, can be used like sticky notes. 

 

Notebook softwares, such as Google Notebook LM and Microsoft CoPilot Notebooks, add artificial intelligence to traditional notetaking softwares – taking sticky notes to another level entirely. 

 

Miss sticky notes?  You’ve got lots of options.

Cash Out: Lawyers Don't Always Have to be the Ones Talking About Money

Image
Most lawyers have trouble talking about money with clients, largely because they just want to help people out – and, the money is secondary to them.     That’s noble; of course, that’s kind of tough , when it comes to running a business.     But, do you actually have to force yourself into the money conversation, if you don’t think you’re good at it?     Well, no.     There are certainly some instances, where you (as the attorney) could offload, that responsibility .  If you can close a client, as a lawyer – you can then bring in a paralegal or office manager, to explain the pricing of services to the client & onboard them .  (I mean, that’s exactly what happen when you buy a car; and, you don’t even blink.)  The continuing collection of fees can be made by automated, recurring payments – or, can be collected by staff, at the click of a button .  (When you pay your regular bills, does the CEO of the company contac...

City to City: How Local Is Your Web Presence?

Image
If you practice in or near a major city, you’re likely focused on marketing your law practice in said major city.     There’s just one problem with that idea: so are all your competitors.     But, your vision for a local web presence can be broader, if you zoom out.   The fact is that if you start looking at suburbs, you’re likely to find underserved communities; and, if your law firm can focus on providing services there, you’ll be more noticeable, since you’ll have fewer direct competitors.  You see, the thing is , that : lots of law firms don’t look beyond surface strategies – but, if you do, you can potentially uncover a number of compelling, underutilized tactics.     You can acquire demographics information, to better assign your targets .  You can set up virtual office spaces for map placement .  You can start using local keywords .  You can travel to community events, for linkbacks .  You can build out addit...

Trust Me, Bro: It's Time to Dig Deeper Into Vendor Contracts

Image
Lawyers can get taken advantage of by vendors from time to time, in at least a couple of ways .  First off, most vendors know that attorneys are really busy & just want someone else to handle things for them .  That means that lawyers will often not dig into the elements of a specific contract, or learn enough about a topic to ask relevant questions .  Secondly, vendors know (or, think) that attorneys have money, which means that lots of services branded ‘for lawyers’ are actually upcharges to the same services sold to general businessperson, at a lower rate .   The good news is that: there are ways to combat both of these tactics.     As to the second, you can find your best price, by: (1) reviewing proposals from alternative providers, who work exclusively with lawyers; and, then (2) comparing those to non-legal specific vendor proposals .   That way, you’ll have a better sense of how the market breaks; and, you cannot only make a more inf...
