So I'm a busy person. And being a busy person means having meetings almost every day of the week. One thing that I'm still learning it all about is how to rework my schedule when the meeting times get changed. I'm a person who likes schedules and has problems when my schedule gets changed unexpectedly. And today would be a prime example.
There was a meeting scheduled on my calendar (a sacred thing to me) for 7PM. After my boyfriend woke up, he told me that the meeting was at 2:30PM according to an email he had received. I began to get ready so that we could leave, with it being noon at that point. Then he tells me that another email had been sent out saying that the meeting was at 4PM. After calling someone to verify that it was at 4PM, I finally settled on the meeting being at 4PM. I realize that things come up and that people have conflicts causing meeting times to change... What I don't understand is why people can't email or call to let others know. Ask why it matters. It matters because my boyfriend has a very forgetful memory and I have to be the scheduler in this relationship. And being that I'm a very organized person, having my ducks in a row matters. So being "left off" and email chain of people who know this really pushes my buttons.
Being able to handle schedule changes like this is a very hard thing for me. I'm still learning how to handle things like this. What are your tips on managing schedules and the many things that can throw a wrench into them?
