The problem with daily reminders is that eventually you just get so used to the reminder that you tune it out completely and it stops mattering entirely.
They can work well for a lot of people but at least for me… after about a month theyre effectively not there anymore
Agreed. When a therapist or friend or anyone, thinking that they’re being caring, suggests to me, “How about setting a reminder?” as though I’ve never tried that, I’m like, “… Okay, how about I show you my multi-layered alarms/reminders lists? Buckle up, buddy!”
Or the genuine question, “Have you ever tried a planner?” Let me show you the entire half bookshelf I have of planners. Now let me describe to you how/where each system went wrong and what was happening in my life at the time. Oh wait— you’re gone now
