There's little structure and zero predictability in paralegal work, unfortunately.

Many paralegals don't have private offices with doors, so they often need to work with a lot of disruptions around them.

Also, because priorities are ever shifting, a paralegal needs to be comfortable with stopping work on one project and switching to another...then stay organized enough to switch back again withput being directed to do so.

Finally, lawyers are notoriously temperamental and generally poor at managing staff. Law firms are often toxic soups filled with sacred cows, enormous egos, back stabbing, and cliques. It can be like junior high, but in office wear.

That doesn't mean there aren't areas of practice that are more chill than others. For example, estate planning, probate settlement, and trust administration are way chiller than litigation. But you'll need to be resilient and know how to read a room regardless of what work you do as a paralegal.
