Using Google Maps

Yes! I always do the same even if I know where I am going. Knowing how my time is going for arrival calms me down and helps me plan. Only been late and running a couple of times in the last few years!

My kids ask me constantly why are you using the map you know to get there you go there all the time. Can’t tell you how many times it has saved me from being stuck in traffic congestion

Love that maps idea, but I think it’ll also be a battery vampire for me

By the time I’ve set up phone, earphones and watch to synch I’m often already at my destination. I’ve started entering the “leave” time in my calendar as the event time. I use google maps to estimate the time needed to get there and add 10-15 minutes. I add the actual appointment time in the title. Seems to be working well for me.

I usually turn on Google Maps about half an hour before I'm supposed to be somewhere and use it as a countdown.

same!!! I always use Google maps

Sounds cleaver! I’ll probably try that!

This is an awesome idea! Will try it to see if it helps me leave on time 😂😅

I thought I was the only weirdo that did this!!! I will literally put my phone on my bathroom counter and keep looking at it. I also will ask my Alexa how long it will take me to get to work so I know if there is extra traffic or not.

Same. People question me like I don’t know how to get anywhere. Sometimes I don’t bc that will take too much extra brain power that’s unnecessary and I dont have time for frustration and inattentiveness on the road. If i can see the time and directions I will get from point A to point B and know where I am on the map as well as my surrounding area in the most efficient way. If I do this before leaving the house I know my time limits.
