[quote=Anonymous]Are you going to the dentist every 6 months? Yes. I have longstanding dental issues and staying on top of things is important. I always ask for the first appointment of the day and don't take PTO.

Seeing your PCP at least once a year? Yes, but have only been doing this for about 5 years. I get a lunchtime appointment and don't take PTO.

Pap smears every 3-5 years ? I guess so ... probably the slackest on this, but we are monogamous.

Mammograms every year (if 40 +) Yes. My center offers early morning and evening hours. No PTO.

Colonoscopies starting at 45 I was 53, but will be more routine now. They found two little polyps, so I will go back in five years vs. 10. You need a full day of PTO for this.

Exercising at least 75 (intensive) - 150 mins (less intensive) a week ?. Yes. This is non-negotiable for me. Huge physical and mental health benefits. I usually work out as soon as high schooler leaves, for about an hour before starting my WFH job. I'm in health care marketing.

My kids are in high school and college. I consider all these things important -- they're making it more likely I will be around for the kids, grandkids, etc. Colonoscopy prep is NOT HORRIBLE -- and it is worth it!
