This week, we talk about setting up WIP limits via a Kanban board to prevent overextension of lawyer time, which then backlogs cases and creates a scenario where it's really hard to get out of. For example, I keep an "ideal" non-settled case count in my Kanban system. Last month, I had taken in a lot more than usual new cases. I paused my consultations for 2 weeks to work on closing out the close-to-done cases. When I first started doing this, I would worry that I'm losing revenue but in reality, the reason I had to do the WIP limit pause was because I exceeded revenue goals last month...and I needed it for mental sanity. It's hard for a solo to do this because our natural human inclination is accept anything that comes our way, but that's never worked in a positive way for me.
