Build this week around the appointments you have actually confirmed. Include the time and arrangements needed to get there, not only the visit itself.

Programs can differ in visit frequency, session length and expectations. Ask the program for your actual schedule and what to do if you cannot attend; do not fill in a generic treatment timetable.

Original worked example: count the whole appointment
| Time or task | Fictional arrangement |
|---|---|
| Visit | Tuesday 5:00–6:00 p.m.; address confirmed. |
| Getting there | Leave work at 4:15; travel and arrival time allowed. |
| Other responsibility | Neighbor agreed to school pickup; still need to confirm dinner. |
| Getting home | Bus home at 6:20; save program number if delayed. |
| Unresolved | Ask program whom to call if work runs late. |

Before relying on the plan
- Mark a tentative appointment “unconfirmed.”
- Ask helpers whether they can do the exact task and time you need.
- Keep travel, preparation and dependent-care arrangements visible.
- If two commitments overlap, ask the program about options rather than silently dropping care.
Close the gaps
- Two arrangements to confirm
- Who will contact whom, and by when?
- If I am delayed or cannot attend
- Program contact/method and the instructions they gave me.
