Change # 36. Set up all your appointments for the doctor, dentist,
hairstylist, etc.
Somehow those appointments for self-care don't
seem important enough. Eventually you'll get to them. Unfortunately
many times you get to them only because of an emergency: illness,
a toothache, roots showing.
Grab your calendar, write down all the appointments you need
to make and then call to set up appointments. Get them all done
in one swoop.
If you are working, get them all scheduled for one day so you
don't have to miss a few hours here, a few hours there from work.
If you only have a couple see if you can get the
first appointment of the day or right after lunch for less waiting.
And guess who gets those good appointments? People that schedule
early.
And after your appointment(s), schedule the next
one. You will get to choose what times work best for you. You
can always cancel if you realize later on you can't make it. Just
reschedule as soon as you know, so they can rebook and you won't
get stuck being squeezed in at 3:00.
And keep a simple Word file or page in your planner
of your appointments and any notes (current
weight, blood pressure, any suggestions from your dentist, etc.
) so you always know when your last appointment was. Or use these
