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!!
I’m like bipolar about it. Sometimes I do, just like you mentioned; other times I forget and overshoot it a mile.
We needed to be able to observe the passage of time before clocks… Even before we had names for units of time or time itself
Humans are just over evolved pattern recognition machines, it shouldn’t be surprising we still recognize some while on autopilot.
Same here. I think it only works for durations I often use like cooking eggs. Might be result of unintended training.
I have this!!
I have the opposite of Spidey sense and will frequently forget I’m cooking something if I don’t set a timer.
