Every morning I listen to a radio program. From monday to friday, the program follows the same schedule so I know without having to look at any watch, what am I doing during my morning routine. I know at what part of the program I brush my teeth, or heat the water for the tea, or do my skincare or leave the house.
Since the program is well structured and punctual, my schedule for the morning is well organized, I don’t skip any step of it and am always on time. Something extremely important for me as if my morning routine fails for whatever reason, the rest of the day is guaranteed to be a mess.
I also have a shower playlist. My showers last 3 minutes, 4 tops. Having a playlist of songs no longer than 4 minutes, makes me know if I’m on time or I should already leave the shower.
Also, as others recommended, earplugs for when you need noise reduction. I use the Loop Switch ones as I can switch control the level of noise reduction with a small switch on them without having to take them off.
I do this by having a whole bunch of alarms set every certain period of time like 10 minutes or half an hour or whatever. And when the alarm goes off, I know where I should be in my schedule so I know if I’m running fast or if I’m running late. I hate rushing so this method really helps keep me on track and calm.
I second the noise canceling device; for me personally, I got the QuietOn 4, which are basically glorified earplugs with ANC for 200€. I use them for sleep, but together with my overear ANC headphones I can make my surrounding world genuinely quiet. The baby crying in the train is like a whisper, the car driving by isn’t really noticeable, and regular talking gets blended out almost completely. I managed to sleep in a bus with a combination of these two; while one ANC layer on their own isn’t really enough, if you combine two I can create a quietness bubble around me. Absolutely 100% worth it, it is really as amazing as it sounds.

This is a brilliant idea thank you!
