"Oh neat it's So-So's birthday. I'll have to wish them well once I'm done with what I'm currently doing that was interrupted by the alarm, or else I won't remember to come back and finish it."
*immediately forgets that the alarm ever happened as soon as I put the phone back down*
My phone recently reminded me its my wife's birthday tomorrow. It reminded me at 5pm. I'm living in a rural town where shit doesnt stay open past 4 never mind 5. It reminded me at the least optimal time, so I can spend maximum time sweating about it without being able to do a single thing about it.
Lucky for me I prepped her a present after last year and its just been sitting there hiding in my closet but god damn if I wasn't pissed off about that reminder.

Just set up a reminder alarm for whatever you were doing.

I have a birthday calendar in my bedroom (year agnostic) so every morning I can see it and get a reminder

Ever since I started getting into my phone calendar I've felt like every waking moment of my life has been filled with relentless activities
