Schedule your appointments the same time of the year

A case for why having one season for all medical appointments just makes things easier to maintain.

As I entered midlife, I found myself accumulating doctors and routine check-ups, much like a child collecting Pokémon cards. Eye check-ups, dermatology appointments, mammograms... I had to catch them all.

Fortunately, these annual check-ups were fairly benign and limited to just a handful of visits.

Yet, as the days grew longer and the years shorter, I realized I was losing track of when I last had certain examinations. My glasses didn't seem to work as well, and then it hit me—it had been 2.5 years since my last eye check-up. I decided to drop everything and make an appointment with the Optometrist right away.

This was my life until I took a moment to figure out a way to streamline it.
