At its core is The BUREAU Method™ – a daily planning system that helps you prioritise competing demands and manage heavy workloads effectively.
Frequently asked questions
What makes The Daily Planner for Lawyers different from a regular daily planner?
The Daily Planner for Lawyers is designed around the specific demands of legal private practice rather than general productivity – competing deadlines, multiple matters, unpredictable workloads, the challenge of progressing your career alongside day-to-day responsibilities, and making the most of limited free time.
The BUREAU Method™ helps you plan around your actual availability and prioritise your work deliberately, rather than simply adding tasks to an endless to-do list.
Beyond daily planning, dedicated sections for matter management, performance reviews, networking, meeting summaries and quarterly goals help you stay organised, own your professional development, and make time for personal goals.
What is The BUREAU Method?
The BUREAU Method is a daily planning system designed to help lawyers cut through competing demands, prioritise what matters and take control of their day.
Rather than simply writing a long to-do list and hoping to get through it, the method forces you to make deliberate choices about what actually needs to get done and in what order.
You start by mapping out your deadlines and meetings to understand how much time you realistically have. From there, you separate your to-do list into Priority Tasks and Other Tasks, then number them in the order you'll tackle them. There's also dedicated space for Life & Admin, because your responsibilities don't stop at work.
The result? Less overwhelm, clearer priorities and a realistic plan for getting things done.
Is The Daily Planner for Lawyers suitable for both trainee solicitors and associates?
Yes. The Daily Planner for Lawyers is designed for lawyers at every stage of their career, including trainee solicitors and associates. Its planning system helps organise competing matters, deadlines, meetings and daily tasks, while dedicated sections for performance reviews, networking and goal setting support longer-term professional development.
