Maybe instead of calling as yourself pretend to be someone who is very comfortable calling their doctor. 🤔
Not sure if that works 😅
I can call the doctor. I know I can. But I keep procrastinating nonetheless…
I can’t explain how to do this because it’s in my head but when I have to make a call or something I keep putting off I can force myself to do it by kind of taking my brain out of the equation. Like for a phone call I just start dialing and by the time the procrastinating part of me catches on to what’s happening the phone is already ringing and I might as well go through with it.
It’s like the same brain mechanics that prevent you from touching a hot stove. You got to go out of your way to override or tick it since phone calls are also existential hazards.
I do the same when I want to start working on any task but it seems daunting or boring and I procrastinate. I just do the first step, like “ok just open the task’s description, read it and try to understand the context”. By the time I did this, I have no difficulty moving to the next step.
My GP has an online tool to make appointments, and it’s great. I wouldn’t use it for genuinely private stuff because the company behind it is a bit shady, but booking an appointment to get vaccinated is generic enough for me to pick convenience over privacy. It’d be great if they could use open-source, privacy-respecting software, though.
Let us know when you start counting it in decades. Those lumps I have all over my body probably aren’t anything probably aren’t cancerous, right?
Oh yes. Quite enabling that where I live, the last opportunity is basically Thursday 4 pm, next opportunity Monday morning, but then the line is usually busy.
yup. almost did it to find my doctors office eliminated saturday hours. Now I can procrastinate looking for a new doctors office with weekend hours before I even get to the appointment phase.
