I pondered that question as I considered the new Fujitsu ScanSnap iX1300 , which is being released to the market today.

Hobonichi Techo planners have stolen my heart. As a verified card-carrying analog weirdo, my relationship with paper is multivalent and perhaps ever so slightly unhealthy. I nerd out over really great sticky notes. I write thank-you cards like it’s 1845. I go through pencils the way other people go through something they go through. Yet, though I gush over Leuchtturm 1917 pads and Moleskines and (oh, baby) Baron Fig notebooks, my daily planner is a crappy yellow legal pad and has been for

Estate Planning, traditionally the domain of the legal profession, is about to be disrupted by another new entrant, Vanilla. The company seeks to enable financial planners to offer estate planning services and documents to their clients through a network of attorneys. To be clear, by “disrupted”, I mean the offering of a comprehensive estate planning service, that includes estate planning documents, at a price that is substantially less than the fees charged by estate planning lawyers.

I guess for lack of another term they used that–it IS a TOC, but created from your list of bookmarks. You can even choose to put the TOC after page 1; or put it at the end of the document, and print that one page, and then delete it after saving that one page as a separate document–or however you want to treat it.

Whether counseling your client or in your opening statement, to call these people “lucky” shows a lack of empathy and risks insulting them. “You’re lucky the collision wasn’t worse.”. “He was lucky the cops got there so fast.”. “You’re lucky you were able to get out of the house before your husband could hurt you again.”. Tone-deaf. As attorneys, we often meet people who have suffered calamities.
