What I experience is different. I don't have a fear of doing things in general. Doing something new stresses me out, but if I'm used to doing something I don't have a problem with it. I find that for phone calls I have to schedule them on my work calendar to make during a break, otherwise I totally forget about them and I often have to make notes of what points I need to make so that I can accomplish everything I need to on the call. If I have to make an appointment I usually have to figure out ahead of time, good times for those appointments so I don't have to call back to reschedule.

New things can be pretty stressful. If I'm driving to an area that I'm not used to I have to look it up on Google Maps, drill down to find the building and parking areas, then I have to plug it in to my GPS, then I have to leave early to allow additional time to make sure I'm there on time and allow time to scope out the building. Where are people entering and exiting? Is there more than one exit? Especially if it's a social event. I hate social events. That's a whole other topic.

I have also found over the last several months, that on the weekends, if I don't have to, I won't do anything. So this past Saturday, after going to sign and pay for our tax prep. I just got on the highway and drove to a Walmart that I don't normally go to. One less stop on the way home this week! It felt good to just do something on the fly.
