Hey Friends,

In today's episode, I want to share a short action plan for scheduling doctor's appointments. For many people, especially those with busy lives, this task can feel overwhelming and time-consuming. I remember when my kids were young, I felt like I was constantly at the doctor's office due to their various ailments. Now that they're older, they schedule their appointments themselves, but I still have my own appointments to manage.

When I talk to people, I often find that they struggle to keep up with making all these appointments and feel like they're constantly rushing and forgetting things. Some people are even in the sandwich generation, responsible for scheduling appointments for both their children and their parents. It can become quite a complex task.

That's why it's essential to have strategies to streamline the process. We often prioritize our family's health over our own, but it's important to take care of ourselves too. Whether it's routine checkups, mammograms, pap smears, or other necessary appointments, we tend to put them off because they don't seem urgent compared to other daily tasks.Here’s how to start:

• Create a centralized system for scheduling and coordinating doctor's appointments
• Use a visual reminder system such as a bulletin board or digital to-do list
• Schedule appointments in batches to streamline the process
• Block out time for making appointments to avoid interruptions and distractions
• Write down details of appointments on physical cards or memos as a backup
• Put reminders on your calendar for upcoming appointments
• Take a proactive approach to your health and wellness by prioritizing routine checkups and exams

Prioritize your health and stop putting yourself on the back burner. Consistency is key, so find a system that works for you and stick to it.
