What is one appointment or letter you are avoiding?

Naming it out loud is usually the step that unsticks it. — asked by Petra

MapleToronto, CA

Labelled the freezer boxes with what is in them and how I felt when I made them.

SunnivaBodø, NO

Two lines a day in a paper diary. That is my entire system and it has twice changed a clinical decision.

Bryn MNeath, UK

Nothing. I have not sorted anything out and the pile is getting taller.

Ollie Would you bring that to circle on Sunday? You would not have to say much.

HarlanDenver, CO

Made a flowchart for my own appeal. I am aware this is a coping mechanism. It also worked.

3

LeifTrondheim, NO

Asked occupational health for a locked drawer and got one the same week.

4

WystanCheltenham, UK

Sorted a repeat prescription that has been on my list since Easter.

5

Martha Take the win. Quietly if you like, but take it.

GwendaEbbw Vale, UK

Got the prescription transferred between two counties without a single phone call, which I am still smug about.

8

HollyBath, UK

Cancelled two things so that Thursday is empty. That is the practical win.

7

TarqWindsor, UK

Asked occupational health for a locked drawer and got one the same week.

4

GaelanInverurie, UK

Batch cooked six labelled boxes and felt insufferable about it.

7

MarkCoventry, UK

Put a flask and a proper meal in the locker so 4am stops being crisps.

5

PerduMontpellier, FR

Tested a cool bag against a thermometer for eleven hours because I am that person. It held.

5

AbelAddis Ababa, ET

Wrote three questions down for Thursday. I have never once remembered them otherwise.

4

Stefan That question is the one I keep failing to ask. Writing it down.

TamzinPoole, UK

Nothing practical. It has been a week of coping rather than organising.

5

GillyWorcester, UK

Booked the appointment I have been avoiding since March.
