Set the alarm clock for 3:10 pm

How to use the online alarm clock

Finish what you are doing and leave for your child’s cricket practice when the 3:10 pm alarm sounds. Setting it now gives you a clear stopping point, whether you are wrapping up work, tidying the kitchen or gathering pads and a water bottle. The alert comes well before 4:00 pm, so the rest of the afternoon does not quietly run away from you.

Your cricket practice departure depends on the browser still being able to make a sound at 3:10 pm. If the phone, tablet or laptop goes to sleep beforehand, the alert may not play; keep it awake and leave this page running until it rings. Set a separate alarm on the device itself when missing the departure would mean arriving late. Check the volume as well, especially if you have recently silenced notifications.

Leaving for cricket in the afternoon can mean stepping from a bright room into fading daylight, particularly during the shorter UK months. Put coats, keys and kit somewhere well lit before the alarm, then switch on the porch or hall light while finishing up. That small preparation makes overlooked gloves or trainers easier to spot and avoids searching through a dim boot or hallway when it is time to go.
