Agh I just realized I missed an appointment today because it wasn't in my calendar. It will be okay, I can reschedule. Offense level will be low.

But I'm so envious of brains that can hold on to things like this, that actually have little internal alarms that force them to pause and think, "Didn't I have something to do today," and then they _remember the thing_.

@hollie We actually got worse at this since our syscovery. Switching messes with memory, it turns out.

@madewokherd That makes sense, yeah. I'm not sure if this is what it feels like, but when I imagine being in a system I could see different headmates maybe having different priorities about what they prioritize when it comes to stuff like events or appointments or to-dos! :)

@hollie It's not so much different priorities, and it's not exactly amnesia either. It's more like, we can all see the same notebook but we don't have the same bookmarks/triggers. So if someone goes "I need to remember X meeting this evening", and we switch to someone else that evening, the trigger won't happen.

@madewokherd Oh, that makes sense, sure! Like a whole different context.
