Struggling with Less Structure? Getting Things Done in the Age of Coronavirus

by

In a 24-hour period last week I had two clients not show up for their Zoom appointments.  This isn’t a regular occurrence.  The first emailed later stating, “… I don’t even know what day it is because they’ve all started to blur into one. “  The second, shared waking up that morning thinking it was a totally different day of the week.  I might be annoyed, if I didn’t totally get where they were coming from.  Days … Read More

by

Not long ago, Seth Godin, blogged about “The simple form that could save your life“.  That form was a template on which you could summarize your medical history and in turn provide your health care providers with complete information on your health. My first thought was how useful such a Health Summary would be for each of my children as they head off to college.  This one page summary could be kept in their files and provided … Read More
