>There is a need among optometrists and business owners, both of which you are, to be highly organized. Interestingly enough, I have met many ODs that are not organized and I wonder how they do it. They do it by sticky notes here and files there. They attempt to juggle all the balls in their mind and then frustrate others by forgetting the little things. They can’t find that piece of paper that had information on it that is needed for the meeting that started 15 minutes ago. For some it works, others, utter chaos!
The best organizational program available, in my opinion, is called Evernote. This piece of software allows you to be organized from any computer or phone. I currently use 3 main technology devices and Evernote allows me to access data from any of them. One key feature that I enjoy with Evernote is the ability to easily clip any web page and send it directly to Evernote for reference later. There are many other great features of this software. The greatest thing is that it is free.
So where does this fit into transitioning an optometry practice. It fits into the demand for you to be highly organized and efficient. Having all your notes, quotes, recommendations, numbers, etc., all at you fingertips allows you to make good decisions. It also helps de-clutter that mind of yours.
