When it comes to self motivation some people go the extra mile…
This is a frame grab of my dear friend Sean’s iphone alarm set-up. As someone who worked on developing the iphone, Sean and I always seem to end up talking about this wonder device. (Oh how I miss mine!) As we sat munching garlic chile naan on Monday the conversation drifted to procrastination and goals. I cracked up for like five minutes when he showed me his tough love approach. My first question…”does this actually remind/make you go to bed at 10?”…. his response…”notice how I turned some of them off!” Hahahaha…thanks for the smile Sean!

Very funny! Actually I also use my mobile for wake up and lights out alarms on a daily basis. I get quite involved in being busy so a reminder to go to bed and read / sleep in the evening is very practical! I can still consciously choose not to follow it also which is a good level of awareness to have.
@Puerhan- yes yes I can see the alarms working well. I just had no idea you could label them! I recently just bought a itouch so I can twitter still and have all the apps without the ridiculous phone charges when roaming the world.
Simple but very useful idea.
