    1️⃣ How are you balancing the end of tax season with March Madness? Any tips for managing focus during this busy time?
    2️⃣ How do you stay on top of deadlines while also dealing with client expectations and March Madness distractions?
    3️⃣ For some fun - who's your pick for the Final Four?

    During this time of the year the TV in the breakroom always has the games on. Fun way to stay in touch with what madness is happening while getting a snack or refilling coffee while also doing a little smack talk if your bracket is doing better than others. My final four is still standing with Duke, Houston, Arizona, and Iowa State.

    My women's Final Four picks are UCLA, UConn, S Carolina, and Texas. Go Bruins!

    My men's Final Four picks are Duke, Florida (yikes), Purdue, and Michigan. 

    March Madness is such a fun way to break up the season right when things are beginning to drag a bit. Our firm does pools for both the men's and women's tournaments and we have a lot of fun with it.
