A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Use a calendar. Put every item into it and let it direct you around. Throw out any other calendar or appt reminder you’re using.
If your job needs its own calendar, set up your calendar apps to show both somehow (there are different ways to do this).
The stress of trying to remember every meeting, appointment, or scheduled task goes away.
Also add payment reminders (for everything if you don't autopay, but even with autopay keep the big ones in there too so you can make sure they went through).
Also add travel time blocks for appointments that are far away so you don't accidentally overbook yourself, especially if you have to leave work for a doctor or something.
Family considering dinner vaguely "next weekend"? add a 3 day event so you remember to confirm a time with them. Everything gets a calendar event.
I used to always just remember my homework assignments in high school and never failed to forget at least one or two a week. Taking the two seconds to add things to a calendar as they come up is a huge game changer.
