Ready Time
You know what you need to do. Ready Time helps you know when to start.
You're not choosing to stay up late. You're stuck. The scroll, the one more episode, the project you suddenly need to organize. You want to sleep, but nothing in your brain is saying "now." Backward planning creates that signal.
After a day of doing what you're supposed to do, nighttime feels like the only time that's yours. So you guard it, even at the cost of tomorrow. The trouble is that "I'll go to bed soon" doesn't have a start time. Without one, "soon" becomes "eventually," then 1:30 AM, and your alarm is in five hours.
Ready Time sends a notification when it's time to start your wind-down, rather than when it's time to be in bed. Close the laptop at 10:00. Brush teeth at 10:15. Read for 15 minutes. Lights out at 10:45. When the first notification fires, you don't have to decide anything. You just follow the next step.
"I'll go soon" has no start time, so soon becomes 1 AM. Pick lights-out, then start a wind-down 60 to 90 minutes earlier: screens down, snack, teeth, lay out tomorrow, short read, settle. The win is starting the sequence on time. You don't have to feel ready for sleep first.
A common range is 45 to 90 minutes, depending on how wired you are and whether screens are still on. Shorter than 30 minutes usually isn't enough if you've been at full speed all evening. Put the start on a clock so the wind-down isn't another open-ended decision.
Get a nudge at the right moment, while there's still time to act.
Each step gets its own alert, so you know what's next and how long you have.
