Whether it is cooking, or setting timers, is anyone else able to very accurately predict timers.
E.g.cset the oven for 35 minutes, then walk into the kitchen with 1 min left on the timer?
My job requires a lot of running tests that take half an hour, 1 hour etc. I have been doing some other things, and wondered “the test has to be done now”. As I am taking my phone out of my pocket, my alarm goes.
And this is my work phone, not my fun phone! Work phone normally sits on my desk all day getting ignored!!
Isn’t there some weird cognative effect happening in situations like this?
Deja Vu is like that too
Those cases for me are usually waking up in a panic thinking I’ve overslept my alarm, but when I check the time it’s 10min before it goes off…
Interesting, because in times of low stress, I’m able to wake up a few minutes before the alarm and then turn it off just to stand up rested.
