Web timer for 4 minutes
Stay beside the pots as you move them from the open yard under the awning, using 4 minutes to keep the job brisk without leaving plants along the path. Lift each pot steadily, set it where rain cannot strike the leaves directly, and watch for water dripping onto tiles that may become slippery during a Philippine downpour.
While you remain near the plants, the countdown can continue even if its tab slips behind a weather update or message. The page may no longer be visible, but the countdown keeps running; however, some phones can delay the alert when a browser is heavily restricted in the background. Leave the sound audible and glance back after placing a pot so the finishing signal is not missed.
Once the first group is sheltered, check whether more pots are still exposed before repeating the countdown. Start it again only when you begin the next group, rather than while rearranging the ones already moved. That keeps the second round tied to actual carrying time and helps you judge whether smaller pots can be grouped without rushing the heavier ones.
Frequently asked questions
What could make moving the pots under cover take longer or shorter?
Light plastic pots on a clear path may be moved before the countdown ends. Heavy ceramic pots, wet steps, or tightly packed plants can extend the job, especially when rain makes the ground slick.
What if the pots are sheltered before or after the countdown finishes?
If you finish early, use the remaining time to check that no pot blocks a drain or walkway. If the signal sounds while pots remain outside, continue carefully and use another round for the next group.
