Colour coded calendars
Strategy
Instead of giving someone a list of appointments, create a calendar grid and mark each time slot with a different colour.
This strategy helps people who struggle with organisation, time management, or reading to quickly understand their schedule visually.
You can also try:
- Mark recurring events with the same colour
- Mark events that are somehow related with the same colour
- Add pictures or icons to the same events
- Include travel time in the schedule
- Put two entries on the calendar: one for departure and one for appointment
