The coronavirus situation has been so dynamic and changes quickly. There has been a lot of information and misinformation. I've seen people approaching it very level-headedly, people in near panic mode, and people who seem to be taking this way too lightly. And I’ve been trying to stay in the middle of the road, trying not to be too quick to react or make any knee-jerk decisions that I might pay for later.

Stoicism has opened my eyes to a new way of thinking. I have been able to apply Stoic principles in my practice and my personal life. For those not familiar with Stoicism, it is a philosophy of personal ethics informed by its system of logic and its views on the natural world. Dr. Matthew Standridge is the person who introduced me to this philosophy. And this week, he is my guest!
info_outlineNothing is more frustrating than wasting time looking for what you need. My clinical team recently surprised me by creating a master inventory list for our office. They went through everything, reorganized and even recompiled our inventory numbers. Plus, what they did works in conjunction with our Sowingo. I must admit, it is great to have everything organized.
If you’re struggling with finding supplies in your office, I encourage you to take some time to organize. You will eliminate a great deal of frustration and enjoy more peace of mind. In this episode, I’ll provide some details on exactly how our office is organized, right down to the shelves, and offer inspiration so you can organize too.
Today I also talk about year-end holiday sales and taxes. Are you in the market for equipment for your office? If so, now may be the time to buy new equipment and then take advantage of the Section 179 deduction on your taxes.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- The importance of tracking your inventory
- How labeling drawers can help your efficiency and reduce frustration
- Equipment purchases should have a good ROI
- The potential benefits of purchasing equipment before the end of the year for deductions on your Section 179
- Where to go to calculate possible deductions if you do need to purchase equipment
