Appointments
Tracker

Missing an appointment is rarely the problem. The more common pattern with ADHD is arriving unprepared — walking into a meeting without the file you needed, showing up to a medical appointment having forgotten to write down the three things you meant to discuss, or arriving at a location you have never been to before without checking travel time.

The Prep Needed column is the part of this tracker that most calendar apps skip entirely. It creates a specific cognitive prompt: not just “this is happening,” but “what do I need to do before this happens?” For ADHD executives, that prompt is often the difference between an appointment that goes well and one that becomes a recovery situation afterward.

The Confirmed checkbox serves a similar function. Appointments that exist in a calendar without confirmation have a higher missed-appointment rate. The act of confirming — and checking a box when you have — closes a loop that otherwise stays open in the background.
