Home Sweet Home Office

Keeping track of future appointments is an obviously important thing to do. Doctors appointments, parent-teacher meeting or the assignment that is due next week – it doesn’t matter which, as long as you honor your commitment.

Trying to keep everything in your head is an act of futility. You are bound to forget something along the way. It is difficult to have a good time when your head is full of things you have to remember so write it down and put it away.

As hard as you try bad things can happen. What if you loose your date book? What if your cell phone gets wet and will not work any longer? What if you do not enter the date correctly into your iPhone?

After a few appointments went missing from my iPhone calendar I was determined to figure out why. It was hard for me to understand how I could have possibly missed entering them. I nearly missed a doctor appointment and once I forgot my hair appointment. It is embarrassing to receive a call when you are being asked, “did you forget…”?

Guess what I was doing wrong. I was missing one simple little step that is easily missed. The final “done” button – although obvious – is easily missed. If you don’t touch it you loose the appointment. I didn’t and I did.
