Part 2 3 – Forgetting An Appointment – (Sept. ~ April 2023)

I remember a time when I forgot an important appointment with my dentist. It was a few years ago when I was very busy with work and other commitments. I had made the appointment several months in advance and had written it down in my planner, but somehow it slipped my mind.

The day of the appointment, I woke up early and got ready for work as usual. I was so busy rushing around that I didn’t even look at my planner to check what was on my schedule for the day. I went to work and spent the day in meetings and completing tasks, completely forgetting about my dental appointment.

It wasn’t until later that day, when I happened to glance at my planner, that I realized my mistake. I was devastated. I knew that missing the appointment could have serious consequences for my dental health, not to mention the fact that I had wasted my dentist’s time.

I immediately called my dentist’s office to apologize and explain what had happened. Fortunately, they were able to reschedule the appointment for the following week. However, I felt embarrassed and ashamed that I had forgotten something so important.

From that day on, I made a conscious effort to check my planner regularly and to set reminders for important appointments. I learned that it’s essential to be organized and to prioritize your commitments, especially when it comes to your health and well-being.
