Conquering clutter
Article Abstract:
A professional organizer may be needed to help physicians cope with the paperwork that sometimes threatens to disrupt the orderly course of business in a medical practice. The organizer will create a system for filing papers that are needed and discarding others. The doctor will profit from the time saved by having information readily at hand. Self-help programs can also be followed to accomplish the same objectives, according to specialists who recommend keeping a wastebasket handy when going through the mail.
