When I pay it, I change the color to a calm lavender. This helps me not forget any bills! I also use it for all appointments, and make sure to put in multiple reminders. ## Comments (30) ### @moajune — 2023-12-08T03:00:53.126Z I might try to get into this, or make it usable for me somehow.. thanks! which other calendar apps do you guys use on here? ### @theadhudgotme — 2023-07-19T02:30:18.281Z This seems like a better system than I use - make everything scary RED lol Will try thank you ### @cocodee — 2023-07-14T07:15:03.238Z Damn this is meticulous ### @sarahndipitous — 2023-07-13T14:35:02.636Z This is amazing! ### @Unknown — 2023-07-13T08:01:33.725Z Thanks for the tip, I like the multiple reminders rather than moving the task ### @CGCrimsonLily — 2023-07-13T00:15:15.937Z Great job! ### @ctuallydisabled — 2023-07-12T13:47:45.963Z I’ve found I can go into overwhelm when my brain sees a block of colour that means lots of to-do’s. I wonder if having things on a calendar help it feel less overwhelming and more like one thing at a time/per day tho? ### @alessandravee — 2023-07-12T12:57:04.609Z Well it seems you're controlling your adhd quite good..I'll take notes lol ### @adeede — 2023-07-11T19:46:53.999Z I need to do this but Google calendar gets on my nerves. I guess it’s just a learning curve for me. I just never used something like that before.  I always try and then got to get somebody else to explain why it’s not working for me lol. ### @_sparkles_ — 2023-07-10T07:37:07.604Z I use autopay for everything I can. I use YNAB for a “big picture” of my finances so I know the money is going where it’s supposed to ### @onlyrobin — 2023-07-10T04:28:41.305Z I use an app called bills manager. It’s helped a lot and I have used it for years now ### @teacakes — 2023-07-08T15:09:45.614Z This is brilliant. Thanks for sharing! ✨️ ### @adhdamie16 — 2023-07-07T20:46:25.621Z That’s really aesthetically appealing. ### @neurospicy1 — 2023-07-07T20:24:47.319Z I messed up my google calendar about a year ago and never looked back 🫣 ### @Shoki31990 — 2023-07-06T14:17:10.691Z I wish my brain would allow me to organize this way. I have such issues with focus it makes it hard for me to do this and when I try my brain just goes into squirrel mode and my focus ends up elsewhere ### @bentese — 2023-07-06T06:08:05.362Z I can be as organized as any neurotypical, but the more stressed I am the less I’m able to use lists, calendars, appointment books and whatsoever. When I need it the most I can’t do it. Anybody else? Have to say I’m using this app though… ### @sunnyaudhD — 2023-07-06T02:00:23.881Z Credit score hack, for the CC bills make sure to pay them by the statement last day not due date (the one before the next due date 🤣.) That’s when the balance is reported to the bureaus. This the how I setup my google bill calendar. ### @kabatty5404 — 2023-07-05T23:20:35.286Z I started my new google calendar for bills, one for work and one for personal, and that's as far as I have gotten so far! This is really a great tip! ### @alyzzamariee — 2023-07-05T14:10:49.669Z This is so awesome! What are some of the other colors for? ### @moedownmitchell — 2023-07-03T16:25:23.249Z I like the color coding. I do this as well just not the color part. I will have to start doing this. ### @ammyers8 — 2023-07-03T09:26:42.279Z 🩵 Beats the piece of paper for the month budget!! ### @mickey — 2023-07-03T05:18:39.103Z Wish I can do the same but I am color blind haha ### @Kristinita — 2023-07-03T03:26:55.368Z How do you have the energy and time? The thought of doing this causes me anxiety but I also would love to be able to. ### @Sqirr3lBr@in — 2023-07-02T14:28:25.534Z I do have them in my calendar, but did not think to change color. ### @doallthethings — 2023-07-02T04:13:50.292Z I might use this for food expiry dates so I don’t waste anymore food! ### @doallthethings — 2023-07-02T04:13:22.421Z Great idea!! ### @doglover85 — 2023-07-02T01:28:39.785Z Omg! This is such a great idea!!! Thank you! ### @paradisian — 2023-07-01T02:33:12.132Z Now how to get motivated to do that... ### @ParabolicHeater — 2023-06-30T18:52:51.031Z Game changer! ### @headbees — 2023-06-30T17:29:52.866Z Ooh, I have put my bills into my calendar but it never occurred to me to do the colour change thing. I will try that :)
