They also provide additional storage space. Wall-mounted bookshelves are also a great way to provide additional space, although they won't provide the illusion of space that freestanding models do. You can opt for other types of storage, such as a hutch or cabinet. If you have a big enough niche, use small sofa table to fill it. Afterwards, you can place a lamp on it for lighting and then move a couch in front of it. Alternatively, use a mirror to fill the niche. A small desk can accompany a computer and give you a small living room office to work from. You can paint the corner a different color to separate the space.

It's also a neat way to keep record of reminders and schedules.
Summary: Fill nooks and crannies with freestanding bookshelves. Place a sofa table within one of the wall openings. Create a home office inside one of the wall openings. Pull your seating furniture away from smaller walls created by fragmented openings.

You want to choose a slow day at work or school, so that you won't miss too much. This way, you won't spend the day worrying about what you're missing. If you're worried that you'll skip your much-needed mental health day, try making concrete plans. Book a spa day, buy tickets to an event, or make plans with a friend. If you end up with a large pile of unfinished work, you might end up feeling more stressed. Work ahead, so that you have plenty done. Make arrangements with a friend or coworker to have them tell you what you missed, and give you any work you need to do. If you're in school, treat this like an ordinary absence, and if you have a job, you'll want to make sure that your team knows not to email you with work stuff. Some people are more understanding than others, so you can decide how much you want to disclose. You can say that you need a mental health day if you know that they'll be okay with it, or you can just say you don't feel well (without specifying details). Here are some examples of things you can say: "I'm not feeling well, and I need to take the day off." "I need to take a personal day to sort out some issues. I will be back on Wednesday." "I've been feeling run down lately, so I'm taking Friday off to rest and recharge. I hope to be back to 100% next week." "I've noticed that my productivity and energy are way down, so I'm going to take two days off for my mental health. I'll see you on Thursday." What has been missing from your life lately? If you identify what you need, that can help you structure your mental health day. Consider what usually helps you feel calm and energized, and choose restorative activities. Depending on your situation, you might need... Sleep/rest Comfort A change of scenery Time to reflect Fun Once you have figured out what you need from your mental health day, you can set goals to help fill that need. Setting goals helps you feel balanced, and gives you direction for the day. Try setting goals related to learning or fun. Here are some examples of good goals: I'm going to take a bubble bath. I want to write at least 2 pages today. I will listen to at least 1 podcast in Spanish. I'm going to go to the beach. I will bake cookies. I'm going to work on that birdhouse I've been meaning to build. I'll learn a new painting technique from a video online. I will write down my problems and some possible ways to address them. Then I'll relax. It can be too easy to fall into unhealthy or undesirable habits. If there's something that tends to drain your energy, or that would get in the way of your goals, then try setting a limit or rule for yourself. Here are some examples of useful rules: I will spend no more than half an hour on social media. If my needy friend calls, I will tell him I am busy and can't talk. I won't check my email at all. I want to work on painting, so I won't watch any TV until after 2:00. I'm putting my phone on silent and ignoring it for the next two hours.

Problem: Article: If you want to be a successful legal consultant, you will need to build your resume with meaningful professional experiences. You should start doing this as early as possible. While it may be difficult to work while you are in school, particularly law school, you should at the very least try to work during your summers. In law school, there are often opportunities to participate in summer internships or clinics, which usually provide opportunities to do real world legal work while still being in school. For example, in civil practice clinics, you may get an opportunity to help low income clients with their housing disputes and public benefits problems. Once you are licensed to practice law, you should look for entry level legal experience in a field you are passionate about. As of 2012, most employers looking to hire legal consultants were looking for applicants to have a minimum of three years of general legal experience. If you know what type of legal consultant you would like to be (i.e., corporate, medical, real estate), try to get a legal job in that specific field. Entry level legal jobs are usually associate positions with law firms, law clerk positions with organizations, or law clerk positions with various courts around the United States. Once you have some general legal experience under your belt, you may want to look into gaining some entry level consulting experience. A lot of employers hiring legal consultants look for their applicants to have between two and six years of experience in their specific legal consulting field. This step is separate from starting your consulting career because you will need to gain entry level experience prior to becoming a leading legal consultant with an agency or on your own. In order to gain this consulting experience, start networking early and reach out to community members working in the legal consulting field. Once you get a consulting interview, be prepared for a rigorous process. Consulting interviews often take place in multiple parts with the first couple of interviews being your general personality interviews. However, once you make it past the first couple of rounds you may find yourself taking part in a group interview where you may be asked to solve a problem with other candidates. In this interview, employers are often looking to see how you work as part of a team and how you handle pressure. Finally, the employer may ask you back for one more interview, often the most intimidating, where they may ask you to solve some sort of consulting problem. In this interview they are looking to see how you can handle yourself under pressure. Be confident going into these interviews. If you have followed the path laid out in this article you will be well prepared for this process.
Summary:
Work during the summers between your school years. Build legal experience. Gain entry level consulting experience.
