innovative approach to the law, combined with my experience, feels quite symbiotic. At this point in my career, I treasure working with the younger generation of lawyers who bring skill, talent, and innovation to their firm. Tittle & Perlmuter has given me the opportunity to work side by side with younger attorneys as they hone their skills and to be inspired by them at the same time. But none of what we do would be possible without the bright, hardworking staff at Tittle & Perlmuter. Our staff is the best I have ever worked with. The success of the firm is intricately tied to their amazing skill and commitment. As I reflect on the practice of law, I learned early on that to be a great lawyer, you need to be a good listener, patient, humble, hardworking, collaborative, and open-minded. You need to know when to compromise, and when the case calls for it, you must be willing to go the distance and fight for your client. It’s hard work but truly rewarding. After four decades, countless cases, and many changes in how the law is practiced, one thing has never changed: fighting for justice and making a meaningful difference in people’s lives.
STOP RUSHING, START WINNING OWN YOUR MORNING BEFORE THE WORLD TAKES OVER For many of us, the day starts with rushing around, checking our phones, or feeling groggy and unmotivated. But New York Times bestselling author Mel Robbins approaches mornings differently. Her routine goes beyond strict discipline or complicated rituals and, instead, ventures into taking control of her day from the moment she wakes up. Here are four of her best tips to try. Start before you’re ready. One of the biggest lessons from Robbins is that you don’t have to wait to feel motivated. She uses her “5-4-3-2-1” countdown to get herself moving as soon as she wakes up. By forcing herself into action, she avoids getting stuck in hesitation. The key idea is that action creates momentum, and momentum carries you through the day. Build early wins. Robbins also emphasizes small wins in the morning. Making your bed, tidying up, or drinking a glass of water might feel minor, but these small actions give your brain an early sense of accomplishment. Completing even a few simple tasks first thing can make the rest of the day feel more manageable. Give yourself a moment. A unique part of Robbins’ routine is acknowledging herself in the mirror. She literally gives herself a high-five, which may feel a little strange at first. The point goes beyond just the gesture. It focuses on taking a moment to recognize yourself, determine your mindset, and start the day with a sense of confidence. Take care of your body first. Before checking emails or scrolling on her phone, Robbins focuses on her body. She hydrates, does light exercises, and exposes herself to morning light. These small steps help wake up the body and mind without letting outside distractions take over. Starting the day with this buffer gives you control, rather than letting the world dictate your pace. Robbins’ routine shows that how you begin the day matters. Even adopting one or two habits from her morning routine, like moving immediately after waking or tidying your space, can change the way your day feels. By starting with small, deliberate actions, you set yourself up to approach the day with focus and clarity.
