There was a moment in my life when I lived in constant worry about missing out on a scheduled meeting or scheduled appointment because I got distracted about some things which led to forgetting about some other things.
You see, I've always been someone who likes to stick to my words and I like to get things done. Once I tell someone or even tell myself about anything I would like to do, I go ahead to do it and I feel gutted whenever I forget to do that. I beat myself up for that and I don't enjoy the feeling that comes with missing an appointment or casually forgetting to do something.
Now, imagine what someone like myself would do to cope in this event-packed world that's filled with busyness.
Think about that for a second... Clue in!
Usage of alarm is the answer I found and this is something that I've already tested in my day-to-day life. At the moment, setting up alarms is already part of my lifestyle and I've used it for over a decade. Guess what? I still use it to this very moment.
Some of my alarms are already fixed and those are the ones for the things I do routinely. From the above screenshot, you can see that the "Post X Winners" alarm is something that's already fixed because I do that every Sunday. The same goes for the "screening" alarm. That's set up for Monday to Friday and I don't edit the timing for whatever reason.
Aside from the important things I do routinely, I still set the alarm for things I just had to do on a one-off basis. For example, if I plan to call someone by 2 pm, I can decide to set up the alarm for that and take it down afterward.
Interestingly, I've noticed that the alarm I set is becoming a ceremonial act on my part. Most of the time, I still remember to do whatever I planned to do and I do that before the alarm rings. Even when I'm sleeping ahead of a big event and I set an alarm, I usually wake up minutes before the alarm goes off.
Let's briefly look at this Fun Question;
If my alarm could talk, what would it say? Would it be something good or bad?
I'm not sure if the idea of a talking alarm is something I would like to embrace. This world is getting quick AI oriented and I'm not fully into the drama. Haha. Well, that's not the focus of the question so, I will let that be. Let's move on.
As far as I'm concerned, if my alarm could talk, it bloody has to say nice things everytime it opens its mouth. Haha. I'm not a big fan of anything that spits uncultured words and my alarm is going to get the living hell trashed out of it if it ever gets in the habit of saying something bad. Haha. I'm not even kidding about that.
Thanks For Not Missing Any Full-stop or Comma.
