It’s as important as it has ever been for lawyers to build profitable books of business, but it’s harder to find the time to do so. Higher billable hour requirements, 24/7 connectedness, unceasing distractions, and increased competition all conspire to make business development a difficult endeavor.

In The Productivity Pivot, author Jay Harrington, a lawyer, executive coach, and consultant to the legal industry, lays out a step-by-step strategy to help lawyers motivate themselves and manage their attention so they have the time - and the mental and emotional fortitude - necessary to develop business.

This book is not merely a collection of disparate and unrelated productivity tips or hacks. Rather, it lays out a comprehensive system that will:

• Challenge you to determine what you really desire out of your life and career
• Prompt you to examine your limiting beliefs about what you’re capable of accomplishing
• Provide you with fresh and unconventional ideas that will transform the way you think about productivity

Building a productivity habit that will enable you to build a practice isn’t easy. It probably won’t happen quickly. It is possible, however. Many have done it in the past, and are doing it now, which means you can, too. There is no time like right now to find out what you're capable of.
