How’s Tuesday in April?
I’m at work.
What about Wednesday?
Still working
And Thursday?
Believe it or not, work.
I confidently answer “yes that’s perfect thank you so much” knowing full well that it is in fact not perfect every time
Google calendar literally changed my life. They ask me if I’m available in 6 months, I am pulling up my calendar and adding that immediately. Now I know that on that day, I am booked for an hour.
I just wish the app wouldnt keep fucking changing to Day view instead of Month view
I wish that it had better reminders though. I don’t want a little polite notification area message for events, I want an alarm.
Same. Google Assistant is pretty good with calendar too. I now just say hey Google set an appointment for June 4th next year at 2pm called nostril doctor. And most of the time she listens
Had a dermatologist appointment today. The receptionist asked me with a straight face if 2 PM on Tuesday in June of 2025 would work.
Honestly think it’s a fair question. Check your calendar. Maybe you had a wedding that day. Maybe you normally work from 8-5 and would prefer to go at 7am. Maybe you had vacation planned.
I have a schedule that has events going out until 6+ months from now. How do you survive with adult responsibilities without doing that?
By not having so many events I need to schedule them 6 months out. You should give it a try, works wonders.
So you don’t schedule any doctor appointments and never buy tickets to concerts or other events in the future? Huh…
Not 6+ months out why tf would I have to wait 6 months for a Dr’s appointment?? The only thing I schedule that far in advance is a holiday at a destination that takes longer than 5 hours to drive to.
Or vacations? Or family events? Or camping trips with friends? Music festivals? Conferences? Presentations, working group meetings, etc. for work?
I’ve never had an issue of getting a doctor appointment within a couple of weeks. Dentists are the only one that keeps the very regular rhythm, and a have multiple reminders within the three weeks before so I can get time off.
As I go to a lot of hard rock/metal shows every year, I’ve grown to dislike the idea of assigned seating and prefer to stand. Most are also lesser known, so I tend to be able to get my tickets the week of, if not the day before.
No kidding. At least with writing in my dentist appointment that far out, I can plan around it, or reschedule if it conflicts. I know plenty of people though that just keep everything in a mental schedule, and they are constantly scrambling.
I’m with you on this. Routine visits are always booked 6+ months in advance and I’d totally lose track if I didn’t keep a calendar for my life lol
You really should go every 4 months though. 6 is just what insurance is willing to cover.
No? Get the sonic toothbrush and actually floss. Beyond that, just get some dental picks on Amazon for like $15. The checkup is just extra.
I go 5 days a week! I work in the dental field and enjoy all the perks ;-)
I have adhd so unfortunately my ability to manage time is literally handicapped. The further ahead something is scheduled, the more difficult it is for me to keep track of and remember.
By flying by the seat of your pants. A plan is just a list of stuff to go wrong. Sick kid and now you’re with them at home trying to figure out which appointments to move instead of just dealing with each week as it comes.
How often does everything work out in your schedule for a day? Week? Month? Because if you say more than once you’ve got a seriously wayyyy to easy going life apparently.
I do this all the time + my director level duties at work + raising a 3.5 year old.
It’s quite easy to deal with and you just need to shift a few days if something comes up.
It’s not like you are planning a full day a year out. It’s typically vacation or doctors appointment or birthday type event.
Of course moving the stuff around is easy. What’s even easier it not needing to do it since not everything is planned.
The whole point is it requires time to move stuff, time a lot of people just don’t have it. It sounds like with your job you’re able to do planning while working. Most people need to do it in their extremely limited free time.
Of course everyone schedules that stuff out ahead of time, but not 6 months out and every day planned out like the original comment said.
