By that I mean what are some powerful and simple basic applied techniques or behaviors that are really useful you’ve developed or discovered in your life that makes things work or improve.

Lets keep them simple and powerful 🧙‍♂️

Let people on the phone know that you don’t mind if something is taking a bit longer and that you’re cool and with them whatever happens. Say something like, its okay I’m not in a rush ☺️

They’ll appreciate taking some of the pressure off and showing you are a receptive audience (you’re rooting for them) and I’ve found it to get superior outcomes since I started doing it, even tho I was always generally polite previously

    Don’t take the appointment card from the doctor’s office. Just put it in your phone calendar.

    You might think if you take the card, you can refer to it later, or put it in the calendar later, but these are lies. LIES!!!

      If it’s not on the calendar app it doesn’t exist

      They already have our email addresses and our mobile numbers. They should be sending us calendar invites, not some scrap of cardstock I’m gonna lose. My therapist has a system that sends text reminders. Why is my doctor not up to speed.

        Funny thing, I have an appointment on Monday and they’ve already sent me a text and email reminder, and a text and email to pre check in. It’s kind of annoying, but that’s what it takes sometimes!

      And have a calendar app that lets you either or both:

      • enter the appointment in text and it automatically recognizes the date and processes it (natural language entry)
      • has buttons for easy tweaking of the day with standard units like 30 minutes/1 day/1 week/1 month that you can press in combination to easily taptically schedule it
