Independent Practitioners Balance Work With Play

I would never have taken up kiteboarding or yoga at my old law firm. Who had time? Who could spare those precious minutes which could otherwise be spent billing a client?

As an independent practitioner, I make decisions which make sense. I balance my life between work and play. And I never let "hourly billing" thoughts affect how I work or play. And, no, I never wear a suit except if I am in court.

Is the hourly billing clock keeping you from trying the things that make you smile?
