Call the Dutch old-fashioned or technophobic, but you can pry their agendas out of their cold, dead hands. For many people, the act of making plans doesn’t usually involve a pause to whip out an agenda and see if they can schedule you in. You might find it uptight, but it’s actually quite a compassionate way to think of making plans, especially in contrast with typical Dutch directness. One thing we can learn from Dutchies is their mindset for organisation and planning — with an agenda, you’ll rarely miss an appointment or be late for a social function again! Dutch agenda culture is not for those who want to use their highlighters, washi tape, and expect to have beautiful handwriting with calligraphy brushes.
