    I have a schedule that has events going out until 6+ months from now. How do you survive with adult responsibilities without doing that?

      By not having so many events I need to schedule them 6 months out. You should give it a try, works wonders.

        So you don’t schedule any doctor appointments and never buy tickets to concerts or other events in the future? Huh…

          Not 6+ months out why tf would I have to wait 6 months for a Dr’s appointment?? The only thing I schedule that far in advance is a holiday at a destination that takes longer than 5 hours to drive to.

            In Germany for specialists it’s quite normal.

            My dermatologist only makes appointments 3 to 6 months in advance. Same with my pulmonologist. I heard psychologist appointments are often enough between one and two years in advance (if you want to start a new therapy).

            Vacation is another such thing. Some employers require you to plan your vacation time at the beginning of the year so they don’t end up with a whole department being gone at the same time. Of course I need to factor that into my calender then so I don’t put other appointments/promises in there.

            Weddings and large birthday parties are also often announced and planned far ahead. I need to block that in my calender as well.

            And so on.
