Social Life Can you do two "events" in a day?

By events I mean like... go grocery shopping AND have a get together with friends or family later. Have a doctor appt in the afternoon AND have to go to the store later or have a concert later. Do you do this and not feel like you're on the verge of a mental breakdown? Physically and mentally exhausted?

If so.... HOW???

ETA: Well, by the response, I have to say... You get me... you really get me! 🥲 haha. I posted because I have a (hobby related) errand I need to get done but both Sat&Sun already have events planned and it's stressing me out. Its not like running down the street to the corner store, the errand will take like 3 hours out of my day and I just don't know that I can do it along with the other plans.

Many have stated being medicated helps them. Im genuinely happy that it helps you but it does not help me, haha. I am medicated, I can focus on work or hobby for the better part of 5 hours and be flabbergasted at the time that has passed. It does not help with introvert hangover (which, much like a regular hangover, it lasts longer and is much worse the older I get!)

I use this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.popularapp.periodcalendar

I like it, it does a good job predicting my cycle length/date. More importantly (to me), it has a simple interface that requires as few clicks as possible to log the start/end of my cycle or view the predictive calendar. And it can back up to back up to my personal Google drive or any number of services/locations.

The other thing I really value, which this app can do, is the ability to export my data to a .csv file so I can do my own statistical analysis and make plots. My mean cycle length is exactly 28 days, but the standard deviation is 6 days!! Lmao my gynecologist was NOT expecting to see a histogram.
