Caring for someone else
Keep simple notes about a child's sleep, a parent's symptoms or a pet's health, ready for the next appointment.
When you look after someone, you often become the one who has to remember everything: when the cough started, how many nights were broken, whether the dog has been eating.
Patterns works just as well for these notes. Trackers can be about anyone or anything, and the calendar keeps it all in one place.
Ideas to try
- Name trackers clearly, like “Sleep (Maya)” or “Dad: dizziness”, if you’re tracking for more than one person.
- Attach photos of rashes or medication labels so you have them at hand.
- Before an appointment, open Timeline to see the last few weeks at a glance.
