In this episode, Megan highlights her article recently published on Attorney at Work on what items should  be on our year-end checklist. Thanks for listening!

    Breaking Screen Addiction For Mental Health

    Screen addiction impacts most of us, and there's little doubt it has a negative impact. Overuse of screens leads to anxiety, depression, decreased productivity, and more.  Its impact is also clear in children. It turns out, it's not entirely our fault that we are so hooked.  Apps accessed on screens give us dopamine hits that keep us coming back for more.  In this episode, Megan talks about how we get hooked on screens and strategizes what we can do about it.  She also shares her recent experience of pulling the plug on the kids cold turkey. Resources Mentioned: Dopamine Detox - video on how to beat screen addiction: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QiE-M1LrZk http://sitn.hms.harvard.edu/flash/2018/dopamine-smartphones-battle-time/ https://www.healthline.com/health/mental-health/cell-phone-addiction#how-to-break-the-addiction https://www.webwatcher.com/blog/why-are-kids-addicted-to-smartphones-dopamine-surges/ https://www.businessinsider.com/what-your-smartphone-is-doing-to-your-brain-and-it-isnt-good-2018-3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEpogM_fxsQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZY2zzN3cTUQ https://vimeo.com/199064418 Thanks for listening!

  7. Why Admissions Questions on Mental Health Matter to Us All

    Why Admissions Questions on Mental Health Matter to Us All

    We know the profession has a mental health crisis.  We have serious concerns about bars asking applicants about their mental health. But do we really understand the position these questions can put an applicant in?   In this episode, Megan discusses and (in a first on this show) reads out loud the US District Court for the Western District of Kentucky's decision in Doe v. Supreme Court of Kentucky.  Doe applied for licensure after seeking mental health treatment, and Kentucky "put her through the ringer", eventually admitting her 994 days after she applied.  Then she sued for how she had been treated - and was dismissed from court, largely on standing grounds.  This episode highlights why all lawyers should care about what is happening int he admissions process, and Megan urges everyone to get involved.

    Slowing Down Incoming Business - Why and How

    A large number of ethics complaints begin with lawyers taking on more work than they can handle, leading them to miss deadlines, fail to be responsive to clients, and otherwise drop the ball.  A booming business seems like a good thing, but too much of a good thing can cause severe problems.  In this episode, Megan talks long-term solutions like hiring help, and short-term relief measures like pausing ad campaigns, reducing availability for new consultations, and learning to say no.
