Feeling highly productive today! Getting back on track! 

I struggle to keep my motivation and to believe I will find an interesting internship in England but I will try no matter what. I keep repeating myself the following quote: 

“If you don't go after what you want, you'll never have it. If you don't ask, the answer is always no. If you don't step forward, you're always in the same place.”

Me: An internship in a prestigious law firm in London, something nice to put on my CV.

Boyfriend: ... What about something I can find in a store?

Had a pretty rough day and decided that it was okay to lay back and relax. At 8 PM, I finally gathered the courage to complete my daily goals and I am proud of myself.

I think that Tumblr is missing some big tags there. I sometimes find what I am looking for in the studyblr tag, fitblr or even lawblr but it is pretty rare. I am talking here about the whole “wanting to succeed”, “hunger for success” and badass attitude. Studyblr is mainly about pretty notes’ pictures without text and lawblr self-depreciating messages about how law is hard and not always worth it.

It is so cold outside that a cup of tea is highly appreciated. I was a bit low on the whole “study and productive” part today, but hopefully tomorrow I will start applying for an internship in an English law firm. I think I will set an objective of 2 application forms per day and see from there.

Today I made progress regarding my cover letter in English. Writing in English takes me way longer than writing in French... I cannot wait to have it finished to be able to search for an internship in a more concrete way.

I hope an internship in an English law firm will help speak and write more fluently.

Today, in my law firm, we were having a conversation about the crazy kind of life lawyers lead. I wondered, naively and aloud, how they did to survive those insanely busy schedules.

A Partner simply answered “Cocaine”. I laughed. Should not have. It was not a joke.

When he asked, dead serious, how I had think they managed.

Well, daily consumption of both fruits and vegetables with a lot of yoga does the trick, no?

Apparently it does not and cocaine is quite common in the biggest law firm.

First of all, thank you for your kind words, it means a lot to me. Yourmessage made me really happy.  

I took my time to answer this but I wanted to give you a thought-throughanswer.

Do you have any tips on how to make most of the little time you havefree to yourself?

It will actually depends on what you mean by “make most” and what isimportant to you in life.

What matters to me is progress. Knowing that every day I am gettingcloser to my goals. With this in mind, I try to take time each day toaccomplish a little something that is part of a bigger and main objective. Whenyou do not have a lot a free time every little step matters.

So, I think you should set yourself objectives that you will break intosmaller pieces, and even smaller pieces to be able to make progress every day.

It may not seem like a lot but it will make the difference in the end.

February is not as busy as other months, so we can finally relax. Our cases are slowing down a bit.

I know it won’t last though but still, it is nice to be able to take time to appreciate life.
