⏳ Time

Count back from “out the door”

Work backwards from when you must leave, and set a labelled alarm.

Tiny version

For your next appointment, set an alarm called “Start getting ready” right now.

Start a 5-min timer

Good for

  • Appointments
  • Catching trains
  • Mornings

Why it helps

Labelled alarms do the remembering and the time-keeping for you, so a transition doesn’t depend on noticing the clock.

The full version

  1. Write the time you need to arrive.

  2. Subtract travel time, then 10 minutes of buffer.

  3. Subtract the time it takes you to get ready (×1.5).

  4. Set an alarm for that time with a label saying what to do.
