SPEAKER_01

May I ask how you feel about something? And I feel this is a divided world when it comes to this. Okay. Okay, so um uh to give you the idea of how this will work. So Gavin's got an Ortho appointment next Wednesday. Okay. Shout out to Dr. Brown. Downtown Dr. Brown, right? Hey, Dr. Brown. Uh big supporter of a lot of things we've been doing. Melissa Brown. It's Melissa. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Downtown Melissa Brown.

SPEAKER_01

Downtown Melissa Brown. Yeah, yeah. So uh at any rate, I just got the notification now, it's a week away from the appointment. Okay. Which is great because every reminder you can give Scott is a smart move for the simple fact that uh, well, I need them.

SPEAKER_00

Then you can add it to the calendar.

SPEAKER_01

No, no, that's already done. That's where I'm going with this. This is where I feel we have a divided world. So you keep a calendar, right? Yes. We have I I have to juggle personally between three calendars. It sucks. I have my work calendar, I have a cozy calendar, that's the brand C-O-Z-I that that uh Tiffany set up for family things. And then I have another calendar to maintain information with a different parent, right? Oh, okay, yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Oh gosh, this is so much.

SPEAKER_01

There's a lot, right?

SPEAKER_00

So they don't all merge?

SPEAKER_01

No. So uh, but that all being said, none of that matters. Here's my thing Tiffany set up uh notifications and reminders a week out. Now you love this girl. No, I don't. You know what I want the reminder? Well the day before, like I'll give you a great one. Every couple weeks, Gavin and Lydia have a standing appointment that they go to. I get the notification 24 hours before. That's perfect because it's gonna stay in my mind. Now, yes, I know this one's you know coming up. I have it in three different calendars, it'll do it. You'll forget by next week. Do you prefer a week out? Because I had this conversation with Tiffany about I'm so glad you asked. Because I'm like, why are you telling me a week out about Gavin's haircut appointment? I don't want it a week out. There's too much that happens in my life. I need it three hours before the day before, no further out.

SPEAKER_00

Okay, here's on every single one of my calendars, I have alerts, and I do it, it depends. So if it's out like tomorrow, I will be on a work training at 11, but I set it up for work stuff because I know I'm already going to be in the building and I don't have to travel. I just did 15 minutes before and an hour before.

SPEAKER_01

But that's so you set two reminders. Always.

SPEAKER_00

But wait, wait, hold on a second.

SPEAKER_01

Our cozy calendar, you can't unless you go premium and I'm Oh, are you serious? I'm not paying for that.

SPEAKER_00

Okay, but then but here's a different one. So bike night is on Saturday at Watkins Glen International. What I did for work or what I do for work once, knowing I have to travel to get to said thing, I it's two hours before. Yeah. And then I do a week before. So if I'm if I know I have to travel, I give the two-hour window.

SPEAKER_01

Okay. If you don't have the dual option.

SPEAKER_00

And also, can I tell you why the week before?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, this is what I mean.

SPEAKER_00

The week before is because I will Zach and I share a note on our phones.

SPEAKER_01

Okay.

SPEAKER_00

Which Tiffany just asked me about this the other day. I was wondering if you guys started this or not. But so Zach and I share a note. What? I gotta add my stuff into another thing. Jeez. Well, that whenever we're going over what we are going to do for the week, which I think like he doesn't love this as much as I love this, but because now he's realizing together our lives are pretty busy. And yours are too. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_01

It's not you babysitting him, it's you guys. Where are you on this day? Exactly. I I get that.

SPEAKER_00

So that's why I do the week out, so then I can go, hey, just so you know, calming up this week.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, we can't go to dinner Wednesday.

SPEAKER_00

Right, because right, because I have a live broadcast somewhere away.

SPEAKER_01

Taking away the ability to have two reminders. It's let's just go with the one. That sucks. I'm sorry. The week out. Now, this is great.

SPEAKER_00

I would choose a two-hour window. Thank you.

SPEAKER_01

I that okay, that's where I feel it's a divided world because she tried to tell me. She's like, oh, well, you know, then you'll know that it's coming. Yeah, I need to know 24 hours. 24 hours is a good one, or maybe a couple hours. Yeah. Depending on the travel. Like the week out. Now, thank you, Dr. Brown, because I already have it in and you're making sure. And I'm sure they'll send another reminder. Oh, good. In fact, actually, that's me saying to them, please remind me again. Two hours before. Please.
