Problem: Article: At the meeting, raise any concerns you have over billing, communication, or the representation generally. Sometimes the attorney may have a reasonable explanation.  Lawyers are people, too. Sometimes a billing error may be a simple mistake, or a phone call might not get returned because your lawyer has suffered a health problem. However, a pattern of mistakes signals negligence. Send a follow-up email in which you summarize the contents of the meeting. This will provide you with a paper record. Most attorneys will be honest with you about how well, or how poorly, another lawyer is handling your case. Take copies of the pleadings and correspondence to another lawyer for a critique of your current lawyer's progress. If after meeting with your lawyer and getting a second opinion you think that your attorney has not represented you adequately, then you should terminate the representation. You should write a letter to this effect.  Summarize briefly why you are unhappy with the lawyer. If you have already met with your attorney, he should have a good idea of why you are unhappy with his representation. Then simply write, “As of [today's date], I no longer want you to be my lawyer.” Send the letter certified mail, with a request for a signed receipt. Request a copy of your file. Even if you fire your lawyer, you are responsible for paying any outstanding fees. Your lawyer might sue you to recover the unpaid balance of your bill. Many websites allow clients to rate their lawyer on effectiveness and professionalism. If you think others should avoid your lawyer, feel free to share your experiences at websites like Avvo. Remember that information shared on the web is public. If you have an ongoing legal matter, the other side can see anything that you share about your case. Be careful not to reveal too much. If you think your lawyer has violated the ethics rules or broken the law, then you should report him to the appropriate disciplinary board in your state. The board will want documentation, such as billing records and your emails or letters. You should already have this information.
Summary: Schedule a meeting with your lawyer. Get a second opinion. Write a letter terminating the representation. Pay your bill. Warn others. Report your attorney to the Disciplinary Board.

Problem: Article: Have 2 or 3 people help you lift the wrapped piano on the piano board onto the dolly. The flat shelf of the dolly will be about 3 inches (7.6 cm) high, so you’ll need to lift the body of the piano at least that high. Make sure to center the piano on the dolly so that it won’t tilt off on one side or the other.  A sturdy 4-wheeled dolly will be able to hold the weight of a large, heavy piano as it’s wheeled from stage to moving truck. Do not attempt to move a grand piano with a 2-wheeled dolly. You could offer your friends pizza and beer after the move is completed to entice them to help you. Move slowly, and have 2 or 3 people help you roll the piano on the dolly. Keep the piano balanced and upright as you wheel it across sidewalks and the asphalt surface of the parking lot to the waiting moving truck.  If you need to move the piano down stairs, you could lay a piece of plywood on the stairs for the dolly to roll down. Remember to put safety first, and keep the piano from tipping over or rolling on someone’s foot. Wheel the piano and dolly up the loading ramp into the moving truck, and then lift the piano off of the dolly. (Or, if the dolly has wheel locks, keep the piano on the dolly and lock the wheels) Keep the piano in its vertical position. Then, use 3 or 4 buckle straps to secure the piano firmly to the wall of the moving truck.  You’ll need to set the wrapped legs and lyre in the moving truck too, but these can be placed just about anywhere. You could even set them on the passenger seat in the cab with you. It’s best to rent a moving truck when moving a piano. Even if the piano would fit in a large pickup truck bed, you won’t be able to strap the piano vertically to the side of the truck. If you don’t have time to properly disassemble, pack, and move the piano, you can contact a piano-moving company and have them do it for you. These companies are highly specialized and move only pianos, so they’re skilled at what they do. Look for a piano-moving company on the Piano Movers Network directory: https://www.pianomoversnetwork.com.  Piano moving companies will also have insurance in case they damage your piano. This means that, should the piano accidentally be dropped, the company will pay for the damage. It won’t come out of your pocket. A local move will likely cost between $150 and $600 USD, depending on the size of the piano and the complexity of the move. A long-distance move will average between $700 and $2,000 USD, depending on the distance moved.
Summary: Set the wrapped body of the piano on a sturdy dolly. Roll the piano to a moving truck. Strap the piano firmly in place. Hire a piano moving company.

Problem: Article: Often, doing what you love means living on less income.  Streamline your expenses by making sure you aren't spending money on things that don't serve your interests. You don't have to quit your job to follow your passion, but be realistic about how much you can expect to make doing your passion full-time, at least in the beginning, and get used to living on that amount. Get rid of possessions you don't need or use.  Having too much 'stuff' causes mental heaviness.  Opening up your physical space makes room for good things to enter your life. Just like getting rid of things unburdens your life, so does cutting out unnecessary wastes of time that you could spend doing something you love.  This doesn't mean you can cut out all tasks you don't enjoy, of course.  It means scheduling those things you have to do so you don't waste time procrastinating and end the day feeling unaccomplished. Start making to-do lists to stay focused.  Do those things that have been on your mind the longest and the ones you least want to do first.  Getting them off your mind allows you to focus attention on the things you care about most.  Start saying no when you really want to say no.  Unless doing something fulfills you in some way, it is just draining your energy from following your interests. Reject the word “should” from your vocabulary.  Saying, “I 'should' do such and such” holds you back from trying out things that may be scary, but also may be worth the risk.
Summary:
Simplify your living expenses. Organize your home and office (or other workspace). Work on your time management skills.
