Thanks anielsen! I'll be joining a new legal firm, so there will be plenty of case files (in ABC order, of course).

I've also tried to separate my personal and work lives, which despite the occasional overlap, I've found to be very easy. While I don't work from home unless necessary, I have a separate filing system for work files, a separate work space, and even a separate computer, an older laptop devoid of iTunes, IM, and the other usual distractions. I can access my work email from home, so even when I don't have access to the file server at home, I keep copies of important documents by mailing them to myself. My briefcase contains 2 separate plastic portfolios, one for personal items and the other is work-related. It makes it easy to pick up a manila folder and take it home without having to worry about it accidentally ending up in one of my home inboxes. When it comes to scheduling, everything goes into my moleskine daily planner, with the intent that work will hopefully occur between 9-5 only.

My line isn't bright: It's subdued with crisp edges. Thanks again for your advice!
