I'm an introvert. Not only an introvert, a shy introvert who is extremely socially awkward. I also have anxiety, which means I frequently beat myself up over my social awkwardness for years afterward. Yeah. Great combination. One of the things I hate most is picking up the phone and making appointments. Totally stall on that for as long as I can, but eventually there's no choice. Or is there?
My health provider has started offering the ability to book my own appointments online! How cool is that? It shows the schedule, you click your time, fill in the information, and hit submit and voila! Appointment made!
I wish this was available across the board, but it isn't...at least not yet. I have hopes that eventually they'll roll it out across all their specialties and clinics and doctors.
Now if every place that made you setup an appointment would go this route, life would be so much happier for me. My stylist does appointments via texting, which is great because I hated to call and make hair appointments, too.
Life is so much better for me when talking on the telephone isn't involved. :-)
