sorry, no event, or booked time can start on anything but a round number. At minimum it must start on a 5, on a 10 is preferred, and on the hour or half hour best.

I don't have to start studying on a round number but I do need to stop procrastinating on one. It's just how it is, I don't make the rules.

"Ok, it's 2:26, I'm gonna get off Lemmy at 2:30 and do laundry..."

Edit: "Oops, it's 2:49, and I'm still on Lemmy. I'll get off at 3."

Edit #2: "Shit, lost track of time, it's 3:09. Now I have to wait till 3:30, dammit."

Edit #3: "Fuck, how is it 3:40?! OK, I'll compromise and stop at 3:45. I can do this."

Edit #4: "Ok, ok, breeeeathe. It's 4:04. You know what, this has been really stressful. I need to stay on Lemmy till 5 for my mental health. Then I'll definitely do laundry!"

I usually say "I'll do laundry at 3" and set an alarm for 3 called "do laundry". Of course, sometimes I hit snooze on that alarm, but then Google nags me 15 minutes later to do laundry. It usually works.

I usually start on the hour. 5:12. Oh no, guess I gotta wait till 6pm.

[–] RembrandtQEinstein@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

6:01pm? Dang I missed it, I'll make sure to be ready at 7pm....

[–] unagi@feddit.nl 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What about 5:74? I’ll start at 5:74!

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

It's really scary that I opened kbin to this and it's EXACTLY 5:37 lmao.

No, that’s just plain wrong. How are we supposed to function in a world governed by arbitrary set of rules?

[–] MrReBot@lm.mrrebot.com 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah idk about that…

Yours sincerely:

I just turned mine up to 22, and it's giving me discomfort because it's not a round number.

[–] Ignacio@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

I always turn the TV volume to an even number, whether it's round or not.

I recognize that you have made a decision. But given that it is a (non-obsessive)-ass decision, I've elected to ignore it.
