Who else has a "Spidey sense" for timing things (lemmy.world)

Whether it is cooking, or setting timers, is anyone else able to very accurately predict timers.

E.g.cset the oven for 35 minutes, then walk into the kitchen with 1 min left on the timer?

My job requires a lot of running tests that take half an hour, 1 hour etc. I have been doing some other things, and wondered "the test has to be done now". As I am taking my phone out of my pocket, my alarm goes.

And this is my work phone, not my fun phone! Work phone normally sits on my desk all day getting ignored!!

I’ve got this. Check phone, 45 sec left of a 20 min timer, etc.. What’s really weird is the wake-up alarm where I get up at the right time even if I forgot to set an alarm. This also works for one-off events so it’s not just my body getting up at the same time every day. E.g. I once had to wake up at 4:15 AM instead of my usual 8:00 to drive two hours to work (long story) and set my alarm to 4:15 PM accidentally. I ended up checking my phone just to see that it was 4:20 AM and I was only off by 5 min.
