"I think we all have different approaches to getting our jobs done. One habit I believe everyone should develop is prioritization. I like to look at all of the assignments I have for the day and, if possible, work on the ones that take the least amount of time. That way, I can complete the smaller jobs and then focus on the ones that take more time."

"Each day can bring different things. I have made a practice of reviewing all of my daily assignments and making a 'to do' list. I try to take the most serious cases and work those, then work the less critical ones."
