Manage your time. Achieve your goals.
Introducing the
The team behind Lawyerist.com is excited to announce the launch of our first tool for lawyers: the Lawyerist Productivity Journal. We’ve built our brand, in part, on our belief that lawyers should go “paperless.” We remain steadfast in our belief that law firm files and documents should be scanned, organized, and backed-up digitally.
But we also love working with pens and paper and find them to be the most productive tools for organizing ideas, taking notes, and thinking through big goals.
So, with the help of Bindertek, we’ve launched a paper-based planner, productivity tool, and note-taking system designed for easy paperless scanning. Using Bindertek’s Boundless journal system, you can organize and customize the Lawyerist Productivity Journal to suit the needs of your law practice while implementing all of the best productivity practices Lawyerist has developed over the past decade.
It’s a beautiful notebook you can use with your favorite fancy pens (if you’re into that kind of thing) and will keep all of your practice management and client case notes structured and organized the way you need them. We’re really proud of it and excited for lawyers around the country to use it.
Designed by lawyers, for lawyers
Expertise honed over the past decade led to the design of the Lawyerist Productivity Journal’s five sections:
01 Goals
A list of 2 to 5 things you want to accomplish.
02 Projects
Stay on top of all your active client matters and business projects.
03 Tasks
More than a to-do list, your are organized according to contexts like Office, Home, Computer, and Phone.
04 Schedule
The heart of your management system: organize your most important action items and block out the time to get them done.
05 Notes
Pages based on the Cornell note-taking method.
Work BOUNDLESS
Adapted in a disc notebook system for endless flexibility, the innovative Mylar® reinforced paper ensures durability every time you take out, rearrange and replace the contents. Pair this analog solution with your existing digital tools to craft a well-rounded work-flow.

Kudos for the
Lawyerist Productivity Journal
I love the Lawyerist Productivity Journal. I’m mostly digital but I can’t wrest myself away from writing stuff in actual paper so I jumped at the chance to try this. I especially appreciate that my goals are the first thing that greets me. The notes section has a great set up to keep topics organized. If you litigate and backup with a paper calendar, you can have all of your stuff in place. I recommend it highly!
This journal automatically reduced my clutter and streamlined my approach to calendaring and gathering information for my cases. Like many attorneys, I live by my calendar, but I don’t often plan out my days – I just show up to the next event or hearing. The Goals, Projects, and Tasks sections allowed me to step back, look at the bigger picture, and plan my day with a focus on completing tasks and goals, not just making it to the next hearing.
The fact that I can remove pages and then scan, copy, or save them in a client’s file is perfect. This is an innovation I didn’t know I needed, but I’m really using it now.
I use the Lawyerist Productivity Journal to keep track of all of the events that I must attend or things that I am responsible for in one easy-to-see place. I love looking at just the things I have to do today. The Lawyerist Productivity Journal also helps me be more engaged in meetings. I can engage in my events device free while still being able to take notes, record dates and capture tasks that come out of the meeting. I think this allows me to more fully engage with the people around me.
