Set the alarm for 2:36 p.m.

Web alarm clock for 2:36 p.m.

You are halfway through a task when you realise someone must take over at the sari-sari store. Set the alarm for 2:36 pm so you can leave what you are doing, gather the keys or change, and relieve the current shopkeeper before 3:00 pm. That gives you a clear handover point without repeatedly checking the clock.

Your store handover may be missed if the browser is no longer actively running when 2:36 pm arrives, so keep this page open and your phone awake nearby. You can place the tab behind another page while you finish, but some phones may pause browser activity after the screen locks or the browser is dismissed. Keep the volume high enough to hear over customers, traffic, or a television, and use a separate phone alarm when the shift change cannot be late.

Leaving for the neighbourhood shop at midday can affect everyone sharing the house, especially if lunch is still being prepared or somebody expects you to watch the door. Before 2:36 pm, tell them who is heading out and which chores still need attention. Put your keys, slippers, and any shop notes together quietly, then step away without making others search for missing items.
