Alarming Scheduling

Source ↗ 👁 0 💬 0
Each morning I look over my work calendar and make a series of verbal
requests:








Set a timer for 9:59
Set a timer for 10:59
Set a timer for 11:29
Set a timer for 1:30
Set a timer for 2:30






Why?








I do not want to miss any meetings.

I will miss occasional meetings if I'm not notified.

I want to keep my phone on silent.

I don't reliably notice my phone vibrating.

While I do notice a smartwatch vibrating, I can't wear one.







This means I want my phone to make noise before
