I just realized that last month was ADHD awareness month and I forgot. Ironic isn’t it? Share your stories of stuff you remembered way too late!

    I was supposed to be at a course at 9, two hours away. Was reminded by outlook 8.45. Gee thanks Outlook, very helpful.

    Worst part, is that you come off as lazy, a slack or stupid for forgetting something that neurotypical would never forget.

      I don’t think Outlook allows for that but I think some calendar systems allow for several reminders for the same event (e.g. 1 week before, 1 day before, a couple of hours and 15 minutes). I haven’t used those kinds of systems in a while, I have a pretty uneventful life, but I remember using it some year ago

        I normally add stuff like this to my private Google calendar for that exact reason… But I forgot…

          I get you, believe me. We can have systems in place to help us but sometimes stuff just falls through the cracks.
