Once I retired, I found myself saying “oh well, I will do that tomorrow.”  There are things that do not matter like washing your hair, sweeping the floor, or going to the grocery store. Then there are those things that are especially important to do now.

If you are more tired than usual for 2 days in a row my COPD action plan says that I am to call my doctor. That does not mean that I can wait a couple of days to do that. It means that on the second day I call my doctor and then follow the instructions that are given to me.

If my mucus changes color, I must call my doctor and follow his directions

If I have a cough whether it is productive or not, I will call my doctor if it persists.

These are the things that cannot wait until tomorrow.
