- As a person with time-blindness who has to mix appointments and other work,
- I want to be constantly reminded how long it is until my next appointment
- so that I can manage my work and show up to meetings on time.
As my job role changed from one with a lot of deep work to one with a lot of appointments it's become necessary to plan my time carefully using the calendar. The problem now is getting my head out of my current work even to go look at the calendar and notice the next meeting coming.
Time-blindness is an ingredient of ADHD, which is explained well in the following video. I've linked it with the timestamp to some of the ways you can workaround your own executive dysfunction. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tpB-B8BXk0#t=4m30s
- python3 on windows
- Outlook
- tkinter. This should come with your python installation, try:
python -m tkinter
. If it's working, you'll see this:
Just clone the repo or download now_and_next.py
someplace to your taste.
To use it, start outlook, then python now_and_next.py
to start this program.
Don't minimize it, it defeats the point :-)
