Let a freelancer help you enjoy this fall!

The State Fair has come and gone. Nightfall is coming earlier. There is a nip in the air at night. We all know what that means: summer has come and gone, and fall is here. But fall brings its own special pleasures. Let a freelancer help you with your workload, so you can enjoy the season.

What are some good fall opportunities?

And what can you delegate to a freelancer to help make that happen?

Five autumn ideas:

• Drive up to the North Shore and look at changing fall colors. Or drive down to Winona for more fall brilliance.
• Go to an apple orchard and pick up special apples and apple cider. Or go to a pumpkin patch and pick up pumpkins for carving. Go through a corn maze and ride on a hayride. Visit the scarecrow festival at Emma Krumbee’s. Kids will love this.
• Cruise the farmers’ market. Everything that comes in at the end of the season is in peak condition. All kinds of squash. Pumpkins. Gourds. Apples. Tomatoes and corn for a while. Some surprising things like rhubarb (my favorite).
• Head to one of the craft breweries. Take a tour and bring home a growler of your favorite.
• Stroll through a favorite museum. One idea is the History Center. A show that looks good is “Toys of the ’50s, ’60s and ’70s.” Featuring things like Gumby, Mr. Potato Head, and Hot Wheels. Again, might be fun to see with kids.

Five things you can spin off – to free up more time:

• Some legal research. A freelancer can do some research you may need for trial or appellate briefs. Or just for assessing the strength of a case.
• Drafting some motion papers. A freelancer can draft motion papers for you. Pieces of a brief or a memorandum. Or the whole thing. A freelancer can help assemble the facts, research and argument you need for a winning brief.
• Organizing marketing materials and internal checklists and forms. To help bring in more work and help the work you have go smoother.
• Discovery. A freelancer can help go through documents to respond to discovery. Or help draft your discovery requests.
• Editing. A Freelancer can edit briefs or other papers for you.

Enjoy fall. Whatever it is that you like to do—watching leaves, fall camping and fishing, going to special museums, or just goofing off—figure out how a freelancer can help you make that happen.

Think about your practice, what you don’t like doing, what can be spun off. And call a freelancer today.
