Cindy Glovinsky helps readers feel happier and healthier at work, while providing hundreds of great tips and tricks for organizing, connecting with colleagues, and making positive changes in the workplace. Glovinsky's expertise as a psychotherapist, organizer, and administrative professional makes her uniquely qualified to provide solutions for readers who are feeling the office blues.Glovinksy shows readers how to:1) Take control of an excessive workload2) Navigate the "boss from hell" relationship3) Organize paper and email files once and for all.
