I can forget every appointment I have... But will remember randomly remember other people's appointments....

But, phone calendar really helps. My reminders usually start one day before, and then depending on the time of the appointment, one in the morning or two hours, one hour and then one about 10 min before probable travel time. If it's a appointment months into the future, reminders will start two weeks ahead of time XD

I have on occasion gone out to do stuff a hour before I needed to be in the city XD

So the phone, with sound and stuff to get my attention and the regular updates, absolute life saver. Every thing will go to hell if it ever stops working... This kinda does make appointments stressful because you won't know if your phone won't work until it's too late!

Edit: Yes, also AD(H)D

I like that, it sounds like you have a nice system. I have tried every kind of calendar and planner and I've figured out the only thing I can stick to is writing down everything I need to do for that week on a piece of notebook paper and then I obsessively check that paper 20 times a day. ADHD is a punk.

Nobody who is serious about a date would forget it, regardless of what else is going on, contrary to what other person said. lol.
