I have a monthly massage membership that I schedule haphazardly because if I can't get an appointment within like a hour of when I think of it, I won't schedule it!

Can you schedule more than one at a time?

This is my third comment regarding this.

Why are you asking for the first available if you don’t want to waste your day off? Just schedule the latest possible appointment, and leave work early so you only use a little bit of PTO?

As someone who has some of the same tendencies as described in the original post, you're missing the point here. It's not that they don't want to, it's that the anxiety caused by the possibility of missing the appointment running their executive function for the day leading up to it. If left until last thing in the day, then that entire day is a slog - fighting one self to get anything done, and it's torture. Executive dysfunction is horrible. They need to schedule for the earliest possible schedule to free themselves up as soon as possible.
