Enter your time on a daily basis. You'll thank yourself later.

Enter court appearances, filing deadlines, and limitation periods in your calendar as soon as you get them. Set reasonable reminders, too.

Be courteous and professional with everyone even if they don't reciprocate.

If you work in an area where you touch client funds outside of a retainer, verify your client when the file is opened.

Also record all your time, not just the billable stuff, and write your time entries like the court is going to be reviewing them.
