I haven't missed or been late for an appointment in probably a decade.
Literally just put it in your calendar and add a notification for enough time ahead of it.
I also snooze emails instead of letting my inbox clutter. I have an empty email inbox. Those concert tickets will pop into my inbox right around the day of.
I pre-send texts with a timer. Like if I know I'm driving 5 hrs to see my folks, I'll pre-send a text for that day that says "on my way, should be there around _____"
That way all I need to do is update them if something goes wrong.
Idk, cell phones make being present, available, and on time, really fucking easy. Like I have severe ADHD, if I am always on time and you're not, you're fucking up somewhere. Use the tools in your pocket. It's easy.
I've never heard of pre-sending texts. Is it linked to a specific type of phone?
(I use Android and never have had an iPhone, so sorry if I'm asking something obvious!)
Long press the send button, Holmes 😎
May vary by SMS app. I use googles SMS app on Android.
Holy shit, it's true.
I'm telling all my friends.
In scheduled texts, of course XD
"You may be wondering why I'm texting you at 3:17 in the morning..."
... because I CAN and with this simple trick you can too.
When you can't even remember to put the event in your calendar, what are you supposed to do? Make a reminder to put the reminder in your calendar?
I put it in when the event is created.
Like I take my phone out when I'm at the desk making an appt for whatever.
Well, the issue is I can't remember to create the event in the calendar in the first place.
