Course overview
Lesson Overview
7.6 – Using Alarms and Reminders Wisely: Alarms and reminders act as gentle nudges to stay on track. Too many, though, can create noise instead of structure. Choose only a few key moments each day for alert cues. Morning alarms can start routines, while midday ones signal breaks. Using positive sounds instead of harsh tones reduces stress. Label reminders with encouraging messages to build motivation. Over time, your body learns timing naturally and needs fewer prompts. Reminders become checkpoints rather than interruptions. Thoughtful alarms protect your focus instead of pulling from it. The goal is to be guided—not ruled—by your notifications.
