S6E15: Panic, Planning, Progress!
This week on Just James, we’re getting personal, practical, and a wee bit philosophical. I’m diving headfirst into the topic of anxiety, not just the textbook kind, but the real-life, heart-thudding, overthinking-at-3am sort. I'm also peeling back the curtain on what actually goes on behind-the-scenes in a typical day managing a virtual clinic from patient queries to professional plate-spinning, it's part admin, part triage, and part magic trick.We'll also untangle the fine line between time management and micromanagement (spoiler alert: one gets things done, the other just gets on everyone’s nerves). And finally, I’m setting a bold 90-day plan, both personally and professionally and encouraging you to do the same. Consider it your friendly nudge to stop waiting for “the right time” and start owning your calendar like a boss.Pop the kettle on, grab your notebook, and join me for a chat that’s part therapy, part strategy, and entirely Just James.
