    Knowing a timer is almost ready to go off.

    I have this stupid sense to know that any timers I set (for cooking mostly, but other tasks around the house too) are very close to going off. Without watching the time when I set them with Alexa, if I ask how much time is left, it generally is always < 10 sec left. If it happened somewhat often, that’d be over thing, but this happens like 80% of the time.

    I’ve even had 12h timers (slow cooking, etc) where I’ve checked once the entire time and it was within 10 to 30 sec remaining.

    Nothing to do with my time management skills though, because I’m still late to all events. Whoops.

      My cat has the same ability to know when it’s time to feed him. When he comes to me and starts to gently tap me with his paw, I look at the clock and it’s 30 seconds till his feeding time.

        Lol my kitty starts with laying on me and purring loudly. Then onto licking my hair, then onto the paw taps, and finally she’ll burrow under the blankets and start crawling all around like crazy.

      I have this too, i’d set a timer for 8am or 6:30am or 12pm, and I’d always wake up half an hour to 5 minutes before the timer
