    Ymmv but for those of you who put your clocks ahead (but automatically adjust the tine in your head), try putting them behind. Knowing it’s slow may cause a bit more urgency.

      I found that putting them set exactly to the second to the atomic clock forces me to mentally create buffer time and get places on time.

      Setting the clocks ahead gave me a mental assumption of “don’t worry you always have extra time !” And I imagine that setting them all behind would similarly lead me to disregard the reality of the clock.

      But setting it precisely on time lets me know that this is real, there are no tricks going on, and I alone have to plan for enough time to do stuff or be places
