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

    Online calendar with a widget on my phone’s homescreen that shows the upcoming week’s appointments, so that I constantly see them by accident. And a habit to always put important appointments in the calendar immediately when I’m made aware of them or plan them.

    And always have the calendar open in a browser on the computer.

      My way: Notifications for an appointment. Depending on how far in advance, I will put 2-3 reminders in one appointment.

        Yes, I do that too. And if I have to prepare something before an appointment I might make preparation its own calendar event, with reminders.

        Its good to have a calendar with a good relative week view tho. Check it everyday and (while you should still set alarms as best practice) it’ll be like waking up before your alarm clock cuz you’ll know 2 days before it, you’ll 1 day before it, you’ll know day of (kinda like an attentional factorial!) 😂
