Set the alarm for 11:57 p.m.

Web alarm clock for 11:57 p.m.

You are still finishing another chore when the 11:57 pm alarm reminds you to break away and bring the chairs out for evening Mass. That leaves a brief window before 12:00 am to stop what you are doing, gather the chairs, and place them where people can settle without a last-minute scramble.

Because chair legs, conversation, electric fans, and nearby traffic can drown out a phone speaker, set the alarm loud enough to stand apart from the surrounding noise. Keep the browser active and the phone awake while you work. If the page closes or the phone goes to sleep, the chair reminder may stay silent, leaving you absorbed in the earlier task when it is time to move.

Once the chairs are arranged, allow a small buffer before whatever follows later that night, even though the clock crosses into 12:00 am. Put away anything used for carrying or cleaning, check that the aisle remains clear, and keep your next essentials together. A short margin prevents the late-evening task from running straight into the next commitment.
