Medication and Appointment Reminders

Reminders work when they match your life. Too few and things slip; too many and you start dismissing them without reading. A small amount of setup goes a long way.

Category: Medications & Reminders

Match reminders to real times

Set medication reminders for when you are realistically able to take a dose, not for an idealized schedule. A reminder you can act on immediately is one you will not swipe away.

Give appointments more than one nudge

Appointment reminders serve different purposes at different distances: a day ahead is for planning transportation, questions, and time off; an hour ahead is for actually leaving.

24 hours ahead — plan the visit and gather your questions

2 hours ahead — confirm timing and what to bring

30 to 60 minutes ahead — leave on time

Reduce the noise

If a reminder is not changing what you do, turn it off. Fewer, more meaningful alerts are more effective than a constant stream.

Key takeaway

Fewer, well-timed reminders beat a flood of alerts you have learned to ignore.
