At 9:00 a.m. we need to be here and 10:00 a.m. finds us at yet another place.
Wouldn't it be nice if we could make Fuzzy Appointments? This technique is tricky at best!
Here's how Un-Fuzzy Appointments work. When we make a dental appointment it is for a specified time. We show up at that time and receive dental services.
With a Fuzzy Appointment, we specify a range of time when we commit to doing something.
Here's an example-- In the midst of a busy day I dropped off my Calahan Solutions, Inc. auction item for the upcoming Heartland Family Service Strike a Chord fund raiser. When I called to verify that someone would be at the drop-off location, I told them I would be there within the next hour. That gave me a time frame of 50 minutes plus 10 minutes of travel time. Now I did not have to play Beat-The-Clock!
Keep in mind that Fuzzy Appointments will work for some situations (informal type commitments) and not in others, such as dental appointments. You are the master of your own clock!
