Lawyers are trained to add. But sometimes the best way to improve your practice is to do less.

When a problem gets harder, our instinct is often to add more research, more hours, more meetings, more tools, or another responsibility. Over time, all of that accumulation can start competing with the work that deserves our best attention.

In my latest article, “The Elimination Blitz: Sometimes the Best Way to Improve Your Practice Is to Do Less,” I share a focused approach for reviewing the tasks, meetings, expenses, and expectations that may be consuming more capacity than they return. The article appears in the July/August 2026 edition of State-to-State, published by the Florida Bar Out-of-State Division.

Your day can become reactive before you have decided what deserves your attention.

Defining your priorities before competing demands begin can reduce decision load and make it easier for your brain to direct attention intentionally. You need to create clarity before the noise begins shaping your day.

In this Murray Mindset, I share how a few intentional moments can influence everything that follows.

You may not need to reorganize everything.

You may need to question one recurring demand that keeps consuming your attention.

I encourage you to ask:
What creates the most drag?
What keeps returning?
What could disappear without harming quality, service, or revenue?

Then choose one response: reduce it, delegate it, mechanize it, redesign it, or remove it.

One intentional subtraction can create more room than another complicated productivity system.

When you are constantly responding, urgent demands can crowd out the decisions that matter most.

I believe recalibration gives you the distance to recognize what should continue, what needs to change, and how you want to lead moving forward.

Business in Bali is designed to support that reflection so you can return with clearer priorities and stronger direction.

Protecting your time does not always require a complete calendar overhaul.

Sometimes it starts with one uninterrupted hour today, one opportunity you choose not to take this week, and one recurring obligation you reconsider this month.

Your time deserves intentional choices.

What could you do with more room in your week?

Constant task switching uses mental capacity and can make focused work slower and more difficult. You need to examine whether the structure of your day is supporting your priorities or quietly working against them.

In this Murray Mindset, I encourage you to imagine what reclaimed time could make possible.

One extra email feels small.

So does one clarification, one approval, or one repeated explanation.

But I have seen how quickly those small touches become operational drag.

When work keeps returning to you, ask what was unclear at the beginning. Could stronger ownership, a template, a checklist, or fewer approval steps prevent it from coming back?

The goal is not simply to handle each touch faster.

It is to remove the friction creating it.

You can work all day and still have little time for the work that moves you forward.

I encourage you to separate your hours into two categories:
Revenue hours create or protect value.
Consumption hours drain capacity through rework, cleanup, unnecessary communication, and recurring friction.

Look at your week and ask what can be delegated, mechanized, redesigned, reduced, or removed.

Your most important work should not be forced into whatever time remains.

Your time is not always lost through one major distraction. Sometimes it disappears through small choices that never seemed important enough to question.

Repeated interruptions and unnecessary decisions can drain the mental resources you need to recognize and protect your priorities. You need to look more closely at the trade-offs built into the way you spend your day.

In this Murray Mindset, I ask you to consider what your time may be costing you.

You can be doing well and still recognize that your current pace leaves little room to reconsider what comes next.

I believe stepping away can be a responsible leadership decision when it gives you the perspective to examine your priorities, systems, and direction more clearly.

Business in Bali creates intentional space for that kind of recalibration.
