#11 Small Notes Make a Huge Difference

When preparing for NDIS meetings and plan reassessments, it's often the little details that paint the clearest picture of your support needs. The power of the Calendary lies in capturing those small notes over time, creating a meaningful record when it matters most.

Why small notes matter

Think about your next NDIS reassessment. Will it be in one year? Two years? Maybe even three? It's nearly impossible to remember all the important moments and challenges you faced over such a long time. Those small daily struggles blend together, and suddenly you can't recall specific examples of why you need support.

This is where your Calendary truly shines. Its spacious format gives you room to collect those little observations day by day, week by week, building up a detailed picture that would otherwise be lost to memory.

Quick ways to use your Calendary for capturing details

• Time stamps: Note how long routine tasks actually take you compared to what's "expected"
• Helper notes: Record when someone stepped in to help (even if it seems minor)
• Limitation moments: Write down instances when you couldn't do something because of your disability
• Energy tracking: Document how activities affect your energy levels throughout the day
• Emotional impacts: Note the mental and emotional toll of working around barriers

The true value of the Calendary isn't just in marking appointments – it's in gathering these small but significant moments over months and years. What seems like a simple note today becomes powerful evidence when you're trying to explain your needs at a review years later.

Remember, your everyday reality matters. The Calendary's strength is in helping you collect those little notes that ensure your NDIS plan truly reflects your life and provides the support you deserve.
