We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.

Plus corporate work is 90% on word and excel which sucks on the ipad
Have a meticulous file organization system. If your firm is lackadaisical about it, have your own system and stick to it.
Also, today you get many screens which connect to your laptop/desktop via USB. They're sleek and portable. A good option - and I'll argue better than two monitors stuck together at work.
What are some everyday, irksome tasks in your workflow, and have you found any clever workarounds? For example, at my previous firm, the restriction on using a second screen/ monitor meant one was doomed to endless switching between tabs and documents. The Word split-view feature at least made life a tad easier. Or perhaps you've experienced the hair-splitting task of finding that one email from a cesspool of a mailbox you inherited.
Would be interesting to hear transactional and disputes lawyers' tech/ workflow struggles, uncover common pain points (maybe associates/ partners face the same or wildly different problems!) and hopefully, discover solutions to those pesky everyday tasks.
