Change or hand back an appointment
Move an appointment or give it back, in under a minute, at any hour and without giving a reason.
Canceling feels like admitting something. It is closer to handing a ticket back at the door, and it takes under a minute at any hour of the day or night.
Key points
- Change a time without ever being left with no appointment at all
- Cancel in under a minute, with no reason given and no awkwardness
- Call instead when the appointment is later the same day
What to remember
- Both jobs start the same way: press the appointment itself, and the two buttons are underneath it.
- Canceling is not an apology. It is the one action that turns your Tuesday into somebody else’s.
