Jan 12: Today I’m grateful that the pharmacist who gives me the side eye when I pick up my meds wasn’t there today.

What do I do? How do I prepare? Here is what I’m doing to get ready. I think it’s a good strategy for managing change in general, and I hope it helps some of my colleagues as well. 1.
