I am a very forgetful person.
I am constantly leaving my keys, purse or phone in the house and then I can’t find it. I also am someone who will book an appointment and not go. My dentist now knows he has to call me the day before and an hour before my appointment. I need to be reminded when I have a prescription ready, when my water delivery is coming and all other appointments. I try to get my bills automated and everything set up where I don’t need to remember. For a while my HVAC company and I were having a difficult relationship. I would forget HVAC service for years. When I would remember, I would then be at work rather than waiting at home to let my HVAC contractor in. I would mix up dates and times constantly. Finally my HVAC business and I came to a solution. Twice a year I get a HVAC tune up. One is more for my heater and the other for my AC. I get the tune ups in spring and fall. The HVAC company calls and sets up the date with me over the phone. I then get an email the week before it is happening. Then, the day before the HVAC company calls and confirms a time window with me. With all of these alerts, I don’t forget to meet my HVAC contractor anymore. Since it is a signed program, I never miss out on HVAC service. I pay for it automatically once a year and my HVAC system is taken care of.
