Set the alarm for 6:17 a.m.

Web alarm clock for 6:17 a.m.

Pause your work at 6:17 am and set an alarm before you return to spreading the rice out to dry ahead of the midday rain. You may be halfway through arranging trays, mats, or sacks, so the alert gives you a clear point to step away and check that the grains are exposed evenly. There are 43 minutes before 7:00 am, enough time to finish another section without losing track of the morning.

While your hands are busy with the rice, keep the alert where you can hear it from the drying area. Check the device’s silent setting before leaving the screen, and choose an audible volume rather than relying only on vibration. The rice may remain outside longer than planned if the browser alarm cannot make a sound because the page is closed or the device has gone to sleep, so keep both active until 6:17 am.

Working outdoors this early can make breakfast easy to postpone, but a simple drink and a light bite fit naturally before the alarm. Water, salabat, or coffee can sit nearby while you finish laying out the rice; save a heavier plate of rice and ulam until after the 6:17 am check, when you can eat without rushing back to the drying area.
