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

Alarms on my phone to snap me out of hyperfixating on things to the point where time becomes meaningless.
I set an alarm that went off earlier today and I totally spent the next 5 minutes trying to figure out why I set it…
…which made me late for a meeting.
Notes on the alarms to remind me what the alarm was for is number 2.
