Set the alarm for 3:04 p.m.

Web alarm clock for 3:04 p.m.

As you wrap up dance rehearsal for your school’s foundation day, set the alarm for 3:04 pm so the final run-through does not stretch into packing-up time. That leaves a clear buffer before 4:00 pm for collecting props, checking that no costume pieces remain in the classroom, and saying goodbye before you head out.

While the rehearsal music is playing, your alarm may be routed to headphones without you noticing. Check the sound destination after setting 3:04 pm, then make sure the alert is audible over the track. Keep the browser running and the screen awake: if the browser closes or the phone sleeps, the alarm may not sound, and your dance rehearsal could finish later than planned.

Before the group disperses, check how long your trip home or to your next stop usually takes on a Philippine weekday afternoon. Traffic around school gates and busy jeepney or tricycle routes can build after dismissal, so include waiting time as well as the ride itself. If rain clouds are gathering, pack your things before the alarm and leave a little room for slower roads.
