I am not always the good friend that I think I am. I mean to call you, I really do, but I find myself reaching for the phone at inappropriate times. Like 7:30 am, or 10:30 at night. I would love to get together over a cup of coffee, but first I have to remember to call you to make plans.
I am not always the organized person that I think I am would like to be. I suffer through an outgrown hairstyle for weeks because I only think to make an appointment when I’m drying my hair at 6:30 am.
I am not always the healthy person that I think I am. It takes me ages to schedule a doctor’s appointment, and let’s not even talk about the dentist!
I’ve even gone so far as to set up Outlook reminders to schedule an appointment, but lately I haven’t even remembered to do that.
Buffer recently rolled out a feature that lets you schedule Tweets and Facebook posts at a specific time of day (instead of a random carefully selected time based on their algorithms). As I explored this new option and got hooked on the convenience and control it offers, I realized that what I really need is a way to Buffer my life.
Wouldn’t it be great if I could reschedule all my poorly timed intentions to a time of day would they would actually be useful?
As I’m going to bed and realize that once again I forgot to call you, I could automatically schedule that call for 7:45 pm the next day–to catch you after dinner but before you settled into to your evening routine.
When I get frustrated with my hair in the morning, I could automatically schedule a call to my hair stylist at 8:45 am–when her business is open, but before she is with her first client.
When I’m brushing my teeth at night and remember that I still haven’t rescheduled my semi-annual cleaning …
And phone calls would just the beginning. If I could upgrade to BufferMyLife Pro, I would be able to reschedule whole thought processes for later. Those amazing blog posts I write in my head while I’m running could be rescheduled to the weekend, when I have more time to put them together. Those brilliant legal arguments that fall into place while I’m walking Tiger Lilly could be rescheduled to a day that I have time to work them out at the office. Those inspiring words I want to say to my kids could be rescheduled to a time when we are together, and they are receptive to my musings.
Do you use Buffer?
Would you like to be able to Buffer your life?

I dont buffer.
and, for me, buffer isnt a fit. SHOCKING I REALIZE and Im probably destined to be…perma-scattered as a result?
NOW THE SCHEDULING OF WORDS FOR LATER WHEN THE HUSBAND WOULD BE RECEPTIVE TO LISTENING?
sign me up 🙂
OMG – this is rather amusing. I don't think your carefully crafted legal argument would be nearly as amazing if you didn't think of it on a run… 🙂
And, Miz is right on – how do we schedule our conversations with our husbands when they are actually listening?
I don't buffer….I've thought about it but I prefer just doing in the moment 🙂
I don't use buffer, but I can relate to everything else. I actually had to download an app on my phone that has about 6 alerts DAILY just to remember to do things like track food, take vitamins, check my step count (which is only because my old fitbit would automatically display, my new jawbone needs to sync to do it)… I also schedule events to remember to make appointments. It's awful but I feel like I need to do it or some things just never happen!
I don't use buffer (I'm not really even sure how it works) but I love the idea of being able to buffer whole thought process – that could come in very handy!!!
