I use Google maps ALL THE TIME. I need to go somewhere: I set it up on my phone so I can see the ETA of the destination! That was I know what time I will make it there based upon when I leave. It gives me that 'deadline fear cortisol boost' to get shit done and leave the house!
Yes! I always do the same even if I know where I am going. Knowing how my time is going for arrival calms me down and helps me plan. Only been late and running a couple of times in the last few years!
My kids ask me constantly why are you using the map you know to get there you go there all the time. Can’t tell you how many times it has saved me from being stuck in traffic congestion
Love that maps idea, but I think it’ll also be a battery vampire for me
By the time I’ve set up phone, earphones and watch to synch I’m often already at my destination. I’ve started entering the “leave” time in my calendar as the event time. I use google maps to estimate the time needed to get there and add 10-15 minutes. I add the actual appointment time in the title. Seems to be working well for me.
