New Year resolution
One of my New Year Resolutions is "don't procrastinate"! I want to be the sort of person that has all done exactly at the moment she had planned before.
It is related to different areas of my life, such as learning English, diet plan, bureaucracy, house and academic.
Despite my efforts to improve my English skills since October, I am still a procrastinator when I have to write something. For example, I have planned to summarize Ted Talks that I listen to, but I don't put it into practice yet.
I also need to put into practice what I have learned about nutrition and healthy food. In 2017, I lost weight and I am very proud of it. But I stopped losing weight since September when I began to feel the plateau effect. I know that I need another strategy to change that and to achieve my goals related to the shape and the function of my body.
The two examples that I mentioned above are the top of the iceberg. There are others areas of my life affected by my procrastination. I am aware of it, and I really want to change that.

In the health center
This morning, I went to the health center of my neighbourhood because I had an appointment with the family doctor. When I got there, I was greeted by a nurse who asked me some questions. The doctor came shortly thereafter. Then he did a medical exam and he said that I was well. Even though he gave a prescription with some clinical exams to do. I took it and handed it to a receptionist at a clinic near of the health center to make a budget.
**********
Which other words should I use to replace "shortly thereafter"? I mean one action that happens right after another.
Does "shortly thereafter" sound natural in an informal context?

Downstairs neighbours
I don't have intimacy with my neighbours, but I get along with them. They aren't nosy and they have never complained about me. Most of my neighbours are old people. Today, I found my downstairs neighbour at the entrance of the building. She and her husband are blind, but they always interact with me and others people which live here. I think that this couple is a good example to my generation, because sometimes we like to show proud of be unsocial. We should learn with my neighbours how to interact and to treat well other people.
