Seconded, can be quite hard to pick up at first, but developing strategies and learning is soooo rewarding
Ah ! The secret is to use every possible way to avoid free thinking during the day, and do it until you fall asleep from exhaustion!
French here. when sick, I use an app to book a appointment to a medical center I have that's like 5 minutes away by foot ( not typical for all french residents but I am quite lucky with where I live). I usually have an appointment in the next 2 to 4 hours tops. Depending on what it is, I walk away with a prescription and certificate for work stating how many sicks days I have. This costs me nothing, appart from the occasional optional medication that is not reimbursed.
Still have both smartphone and pc (mostly for gaming). I think in the future we will have only a smartphone that will dock to screens (or maybe glasses) and will be connected to cloud computing for intensive purposes.
That's depressing, I can only imagine what it's like to ponder wether or not to get checked because you can't afford it...
