it’s very irritating. does anyone else experience this? it’s just looming for a week ahead of time, i’m thinking about it every day, it’s practically a pall upon my shoulders that i’m going fucking apple picking with family tomorrow
sick of it. i assume this is a manifestation of the schedule interruption thing?
The way I partially solved this for myself is to put all my obligations to other people into a single note on my phone. Then, I just check the note once a day, set phone alarms with titles for any commitments coming up (usually only the next day), and forget about it. If the commitment is particularly complex, I’ll write up a full set of notes before I go to bed (when I’m ruminating about it) and make sure it is the first thing I will see (after the lock screen if you use one) when my alarm wakes me up.
It’s “partially” solved because I still want a ton of notice before I agree to any commitments, which some people are not amenable to. But once I get that notice, I’ll be there whether I want to do or (wildly more likely) not.
