So if you’re all about ticking clocks, I’m the kind of person who thinks a deadline is just a suggestion—like a polite reminder that I might still have a chance to procrastinate. How do you keep yourself from turning every project into a time‑bomb?

Sure thing, call it a "time‑bomb" if you want. I slice every task into micro‑milestones, mark them on a calendar with a strict deadline, and give myself a hard‑coded buffer. If I slip, I hit the alarm and start the next block. Procrastination gets no room in the schedule—it's like a fuse you can't reset. If you want to keep that polite reminder, just treat it as a polite warning that the next block will explode if you ignore it.

Nice, but I’ve got a habit of treating the alarm like a notification that eventually goes ignored—fuse or not, it’s still going to explode sometime. So if you’re counting on me to be on time, maybe set a backup alarm.

Sure, just double‑schedule the alarm on two devices and put a hard note on the wall. If one goes off and you ignore it, the other will still ring. And if the second one’s missed, set a third on your phone and a final on a colleague’s calendar. That way the fuse has no choice but to blow in the right place.

Double‑schedule, triple‑alarm, a wall note… it’s like a safety net for a brain that loves to wander into the dark side of procrastination. Just promise me you’ll actually read the wall note before the third one rings. If you need a hint, my “fuse” is already set to blow in the middle of a good book.
