334: Other lawyers' tech mistakes can be a powerful shortcut (using the 80/20 principle)

If the 80/20 principle never worked for you, you weren't doing it wrong. You were missing a part never gets discussed. In this episode I cover that part. It has to do with perfectionism, and with whose trial and error you rely on. Then I show how it works in a free automated scheduling tool many lawyers still resist. Why they resist and how to overcome mental blocks with the 80/20 principle are explained in a way that you'll find surprisingly helpful.
