There is no better way to think about practice management issues than to write them down. I used to keep many Post-it notes around to remind me what to tell staff as issues came up. Recently, I have compiled them onto one list and have started reviewing them. In the process, I am not just talking to my staff but also putting the issues down in our website blog posts. This is my way of stressing the issues talked about within my office.
