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 keep the month view as a whole page widget on my phone.
I can recommend Business Calendar 2
I feel the same way
I wish that it had better reminders though. I don’t want a little polite notification area message for events, I want an alarm.
Also it hangs around until you remember to cancel it. So sometimes you have reminders to buy some milk that’s been on screen for 8 months.
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
The trouble is you then have to pull your phone out to make sure that she’s actually done it right.
Half the time it struggles with “what’s the weather forecast for tomorrow”. Often replies with “it will rain the rest of today”, yeah, but what about my question?
nostril doctor.
I confidently answer “yes that’s perfect thank you so much” knowing full well that it is in fact not perfect every time
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.
Who plans vacations nearly two years in advance?
Dental assistants, apparently

I got ADHD so ANYTHING that needs to be remembered for later goes in Google calendar, or it ceases to exist 20 minutes after being told about it
I can do it in 10 minutes without ADHD.
I’m one of those assholes who has to negotiate dates and times even 4 months or a year out. I live by my calendar and my schedule is always packed M-F.
Why do you live like that?
There’s nothing wrong with keeping busy
It could lead to a burn out.
Organization is the opposite of burn out for me. I get burned out when my day is chaotic and lacks structure. I’ve been in my field a long time and know how to work best for my needs.
If you plan more than what your physical or mental health allows, it may still end up like that.
I’ve been doing this for 10 years. I know how to work best for my physical and mental health.
I’m a stranger on the internet, I think I know what’s best for you better than you do.
Certainly, I said that because it may not work like that for everyone.
but they just told you they aren’t doing that
I’m not talking about that commenter in particular, I’m talking about people in general.
Morning or afternoon?

Look at Mr Fancy Pants over here, still got a dentist.
Basic healthcare is insanely fancy!
I guess that’s better than what happened to me:
Went to the doctor for a raptured eat drum, the checkup (free of charge) was in two weeks but the secretary won’t take appointments unless it’s within the week, so when I called she said she was full and set up one for next week (how hard was doing that 2 weeks ago…). When I went for the appointment the doctor tired to charge me 1/2 of a regular visit since it took me way too long for the checkup…
raptured eat drum
Jesus getting awfully picky lately.
Must’ve heard it wrong.

4/13???
Good, I’m not the only Homestuck on Lemmy
At 2:15pm
It’s a dentist appointment…wait until 2:30
You can’t. They ask you to come 15 min in advance, so that doctor would be able to see you 45 minutes later.
It’s a dad joke. 2:30 = tooth hurty
Thanks, Dad.
How’s Tuesday in April?
I’m at work.
What about Wednesday?
Still working
And Thursday?
Believe it or not, work.
I can do weekends.
No we’re not open on weekends.
