A few days ago when i was feeling more motviated and organised i said “i’m going to rewatch one lecture every day in the evening this week” and added it to my calendar.
Today I just got a notification saying “LECTURE AT 6 !!!” and was like omg i’ll never make it there in time and I’m so comfy and relaxed now; I forgot all about it and have already missed the first 2 days of my planned “relaxed revision week.” No biggie.
I also do this over and over again. I write a schedule and then my brain forgets about it. Sometimes i’m pleasantly surprised to see “do x fun thing” when i’m locked in or busy spending time with other people instead.
Also took me longer that i needed to to start using Google calendar because i was terrified that it would display my schedule to anyone who looks it up using my email address. It doesn’t, or rather you have to tick something to make it do that.
Perhaps this is an incentive to create more meaningful meeting titles:
Lmao, very good point! I’ve been naming them in shorthand terms because of fears it was being read by someone else, and i wanted to be secretive
