Web alarm clock for 4:36 p.m.

Halfway through clearing the milkfish cages, you may need a firm cue to stop, rinse off, and move on. Set the alarm for 4:36 pm so the work does not quietly stretch toward 5:00 pm. The sound marks a practical break point: finish the cage section already in hand, secure the netting, and leave the remaining section for the next planned round.

Because wet hands and pond work can keep you away from the screen, leave the alarm page open and keep the phone awake where its sound can reach you. If you close the tab or browser, or the phone goes to sleep, the alarm may not sound, and clearing the milkfish cages could run beyond the intended stopping point. Check the volume before returning to the water, then avoid switching away from the page.

After leaving the cages at 4:36 pm, use the remaining afternoon as a buffer before the next job that day. Allow time to wash tools, change out of wet clothes, record which cages were cleared, and account for the trip back from the fishpond. Keeping part of the 24 minutes before 5:00 pm unassigned also gives you room for a delayed cleanup without pushing the following task late.
