Ready Time
You know what you need to do. Ready Time helps you know when to start.
You knew about the meeting. It was on your calendar. But "meeting at 2" didn't remind you to start preparing at 1:50. You were deep in something else, and now you're joining late, unmuted, without a look at the agenda. A backward plan makes the prep automatic.
You start getting ready for a Zoom call when the calendar notification fires, usually 1 minute before. If you lose track of time easily, that minute is too short. You need to find the link (is it in email? Slack? the calendar invite?), fill your water, use the bathroom, and at least glance at the agenda. That's about 10 minutes of prep you often don't have.
Ready Time turns meeting prep into a short sequence starting 15 minutes before the call. Bathroom and water. Find and test the meeting link. Review the agenda and your notes. Open any docs you'll need. When the call starts, you're already there. Camera on, muted, caught up.
For most calls, joining about 1 to 2 minutes early is enough to settle in without sitting in an empty waiting room. Interviews and presentations lean earlier (often 3 to 5 minutes) so you're not testing the link while people are already talking.
Start 10 to 15 minutes before join time: bathroom and water, find and test the link, skim the agenda, open shared docs, then join. The calendar ping one minute prior only covers the join click. It doesn't cover the scavenger hunt for the URL.
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.
