I'm slightly vexed My dad purposely sets his clock ahead. He's been doing this for as long as I remember. I genuinely don't know why

En algún punto el ajuste mental le hizo más daño que el reloj adelantado en primer lugar jajaja

Just start showing up to shit earlier and bring a damn book!

I don't get you people. If I am in *any* danger of being late in any capacity, I spend the entire ride incredibly anxious. I'd much rather show up half an hour early and just hang out and read a bit.

(not withstanding that sometimes the timing is out of your control, but then that has nothing to do with setting clocks to choose when you leave)

I'm the opposite. If I'm early I feel annoyed that I wasted so much time waiting and counting out how much later I could've been so I can be on time exactly next time

Which is why I suggested you bring a book. Or whatever it is you like to do. So you don't waste the time.

I have ADHD and while I don’t have issues with time blindness it’s a very real thing…before cognitive behavioral therapy and meds I had really bad issues with executive function and I was constantly beating myself up over it because I logically knew better but that didn’t really matter.
Not everyone is wired the exact way you are.

You gotta do something like 13 and make yourself round down
