Before the end of your appointment, schedule the next one

in response to blakely

I think I’m looking for recs on how to adult… like how are we all going to the dentist, getting dog food, dusting, switching out the dish towels, not running out of butter, calling our long distance friends or parents, stretching, cleaning the stove… not to mention actually working, owning businesses, raising pets & kids… I consider myself a very responsible person (elementary school teacher said I need to “have more fun” so that likely conveys all you need to know) and I don’t know how we are doing it. Do I need a physical calendar? The right Claude prompt? A sticky note and a mission?

Attempting to schedule via text is awful. You like seeing your friends? Before you leave the table, schedule the next occasion. Make it realistic - don’t be ashamed for proposing a long interval between (literal) drinks. Seeing them once every 6 months is better than not at all!

This also works for the dentist, hairdresser, nail tech, etc. You can always reschedule!

One of my friends and I plan to hang out “once a season” (aka once in winter, once in spring, etc) because we both know we can’t commit to anything more than that! Also, I second booking the appointments at the end of the appointment. Chances are you’re definitely free on the date they propose for the next appt lol especially if it’s a year away!!
