Do you lose your whole day to one appointment? 'Waiting mode' may be why

You have a 3 p.m. appointment. It's now 10 a.m., and somehow your entire day already feels out of reach. Maybe you find yourself unable to start anything properly. You feel on edge, waiting for something to begin or end. You check the time again and again. Even a positive, planned event, like a friend visiting later, can leave you feeling stuck.
