By flying by the seat of your pants. A plan is just a list of stuff to go wrong. Sick kid and now you’re with them at home trying to figure out which appointments to move instead of just dealing with each week as it comes.

How often does everything work out in your schedule for a day? Week? Month? Because if you say more than once you’ve got a seriously wayyyy to easy going life apparently.

I do this all the time + my director level duties at work + raising a 3.5 year old.

It's quite easy to deal with and you just need to shift a few days if something comes up.

It's not like you are planning a full day a year out. It's typically vacation or doctors appointment or birthday type event.

Of course moving the stuff around is easy. What’s even easier it not needing to do it since not everything is planned.

The whole point is it requires time to move stuff, time a lot of people just don’t have it. It sounds like with your job you’re able to do planning while working. Most people need to do it in their extremely limited free time.

Of course everyone schedules that stuff out ahead of time, but not 6 months out and every day planned out like the original comment said.

Nah, I definitely believe you are definitely the edge case here. I have literally never met a person with the hectic life you describe. Planning it out makes it easier to manage anyway 🤷‍♂️.

I don’t have a hectic life? I’m saying is people would rather use that time “wasted “ dealing with fixing schedules and dealing with calls to move appointments doing other productive stuff.

What it productive is up to each individual person.

Play a video game or drink with friends or stress about a schedule that will absolutely change? That’s a no brainer, enjoy scheduling the impossible while I have fun gaming and dealing with the ship that comes on its own regardless of my planning.
