Save this routine in Ready Time and it tells you when to start each step.
Ready Time
You know what you need to do. Ready Time helps you know when to start.
You knew you'd need to eat. You've known all day. But choosing what to make, plus actually making it, created enough friction that you put it off until now. A backward plan from when you want to sit down and eat tells you when to start, and breaks "make dinner" into steps small enough to begin.
"What's for dinner" is a chain of decisions. What do I have? What sounds good? Do I have all the ingredients? How long will it take? Each question is a fork, and if you stall on open-ended decisions, you stall on the first one. By the time you pick something, it's 7:30 and you order takeout.
Pick something simple. Ready Time works backward from when you want to eat. Decide at 5:45. Prep at 6:00. Cook at 6:15. The notifications move you through each step so you don't stall between them. Even a basic meal (pasta, a protein, a vegetable) feels manageable when each step has a start time.
Count backward from when you want to eat. A simple weeknight meal is often 30 to 45 minutes of active cooking; anything with oven time or multiple burners needs more. Decide the eat-by time first, then the start time falls out, including the five minutes you spend staring into the fridge.
From "what's for dinner" to plates on the table, 30 to 60 minutes is a realistic band for most home cooking on a weeknight. Recipes quote cook time; they skip deciding, thawing, and cleanup lead-in. Put the whole arc on a timeline if 9 PM dinners keep happening by accident.
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.
