Welcome to the Law School Toolbox Podcast. Today, we're talking about one of the keys to success in law school – managing distractions. We live in a world of ever-increasing distractions.

  • Offloading mental clutter with systems and habits
  • Life and relationships – setting healthy boundaries and efficiently taking care of your needs
