Women's Period 🩸
-
How do you track your period using an online calendar?
What tools do you think that could be useful to have on an online calendar that are connected to our period?
These are the main questions that I'd like to think about, but here it goes some thoughts that have been on my mind the past
yearsmonths:I'm 23 years old and after an bournout (which unfortunatelly has become more and more commun in groups of my age) I decided it would be good to change my lifestyle. In short terms, the more we listen to our body, the better (there's this video from School of Life that summerizes a lot this conversation).
So, focusing on quality time, when to be more productive, when to relax more... As a woman, my period have a huge impact on my routine, how I'll deal with people and/or bureaucracts issues for exemple.
It's so common to me that I'm in a super productive week, and I organise so many things to do, I do my best to plan my month... But +/- 10 days later (for exemple) I feel frustrated that I couldn't do everything that I planned. Only when I remember to check another calendar I then remember "oh, yes... I'm actually supposed to be more stressed, sensible... Of course I wouldn't be able to do all those things that I've planned..."
And it has already been proven that what we eat and how much exercise we do also impact in our cycle and vise-versa. I really wanted to be able, for exemple, to have a routine exercise that I could adjust better to my cycle... But then again I have to use more than one calender, have more than one tool, different places to think and organize everything.
This is one of the main reasons I'd like to have a paper-like agenda, but it's 2022 and having everything online would be sooooooo f*cking practical.
I dont even want a calendar to actually predict my cycle. It's just... How can I use this online calendar in a way I can SEE my menstruation cycle here and actualy organise myself in a more sustainable and truly productive and healthy way?
--> this last topic here is a little bit more controversal, but.... For some time I was able to compare my cycle with the moon's and find a good pattern to predict my routine. After a while I lost the track of it, but something as simple as adding the moon's calendar as an option would be already handy. Once it has a true impact in our routine, whether we adapt ourselves for it or not, I believe it would be truly good to actually talk about it more than "yeah, adding the moon's calendar could be good. Done."

@andressapcorrea Well, you could always input manually in a dedicated calendar you create on your
vivaldi.netcalendar account. But about your last point, you can easily add a moon phase calendar to Vivaldi. You can import any fitting ical calendar for this purpose. I also wrote a custom modification showing the current moon phase and progress as custom modification ☛ https://forum.vivaldi.net/post/461432 -
Let's imagine that your cycle starts on next day 10 and is every 25 days.
We'd create an event on day 10 and set it to repeat every 25 days forever, we'd do this for every day that your period lasts. I know it's tedious to do it by hand but good side is only have to do it once.
Eventually you can then adjust the days by modifying the day of the event and applying it to future events.
With moon phases there are calendars for that, just do a search, but I don't trust'em because few noted for which place are made (country, hemisphere, etc).
I've had no luck, no exist iCal calendars and both work and school calendars I've to create the events by hand. Then a month before the end I create an event to visit the calendar page in question and update it for the next year/course.
It's not optimal but works.I hope will help you.
