Yeah I was/am sick still so I just played from home til I got enough candy to evolve the shiny I got, but yeah I agree I was really excited but then of course my airways decided to **** up my allergy reaction sooo yeah here we go.had no idea that Community Day was today in pogo (I kinda knew bc of @/Alienfish's post yesterday but I was sick so it didn't stick w me), so not only did I miss it, but it was one of my favorite Pokemon in the entire series, Noibat. I haven't played pogo consistently since I graduated and I'm honestly very close to just uninstalling it at this point because I keep missing CDs (cause the game sends me push notifs for stupid **** but never community day) and I can never get what I want anyways cause no one plays around here. I'm so tired of it. I really am.
I don't know if you just wanted to vent or if you were looking for the solution - but I have two. As soon as you have an appointment:Why is my brain so terrible with appointments
It's either completely forget I had one and miss it, or so paranoid I literally can't sleep and barely get anything done all day, scared I might lose track of time and be late.
Worst part there is no in between
Thank you. I'll try it and see if it works for me.I don't know if you just wanted to vent or if you were looking for the solution - but I have two. As soon as you have an appointment:
Being organised will help much more than simply expecting yourself to remember dates, times, and locations.
- (A) Write it down where you will see. Writing it on a piece of paper and sticking it on a wall you see everyday (e.g. wall near computer or coffee maker), or keeping a physical daily or weekly diary and making a point to check it as soon as you wake up every morning helps. If you make the effort to do this daily it'll eventually become routine and you'll start to do it on auto-pilot.
- (B) Make use of alarms and notifications on your devices. Even if something is a month away, set up reminders for it immediately. E.g. today I scheduled a meeting at 10:30am on March 7th. Even though it is a month away I already have alarms and timed notifications (via Google Keep) set for March 6th and 7th to remind me where I need to be that day. If I'm worried I'll forget I'll even add one to remind me when it's 30-60 minutes before I need to leave the house with the exact time train I'm aiming to catch noted on it to ensure I make it.
