It’s a lot of work, but a good spring cleaning at home or in the office feels great. Time to scrub things down, organize paperwork, and throw away unneeded or broken items. I just cleaned out my closet at home, and a charitable organization came to pick up a huge bag of clothes that I hadn’t worn in a long time. I feel fantastic to have that clutter out of my life and my home (and that it is going to a good cause)! Next up is to recycle old paperwork taking up valuable space in my desk drawers here in the office. Admittedly a big job.

• Check and clean up your patient database and mailing list
• De-clutter your digital workspace and your digital life
• Send a reactivation postcard to lapsed clients, and missed appointment cards to recent no-shows
• Check around the office and safely dispose of supplies with an expiry date that has passed
• Recycle paperwork and files that are no longer relevant
• Use Acrylic Monthly Reminder Systems to sort your card mailing program
  
  (having one for business greeting cards and business holiday cards, and another for personalized reminder cards and appointment reminder postcards really keeps things organized)
• Trim dead leaves off plants, or if they are artificial, clean them up
• Freshen up the look of your office by storing decorative artwork that has been up for a long time, and replace it with new bright Wall Art
