Online calendar with a widget on my phone's homescreen that shows the upcoming week's appointments, so that I constantly see them by accident. And a habit to always put important appointments in the calendar immediately when I'm made aware of them or plan them.
And always have the calendar open in a browser on the computer.
My way: Notifications for an appointment. Depending on how far in advance, I will put 2-3 reminders in one appointment.
Yes, I do that too. And if I have to prepare something before an appointment I might make preparation its own calendar event, with reminders.
Its good to have a calendar with a good relative week view tho. Check it everyday and (while you should still set alarms as best practice) it'll be like waking up before your alarm clock cuz you'll know 2 days before it, you'll 1 day before it, you'll know day of (kinda like an attentional factorial!) π
