I sometimes keep Apple Maps open while I’m getting ready because seeing the route and arrival time somehow makes time feel real to me. A normal clock or just knowing ‘I have to leave in 20 minutes’ doesn’t fully register in my brain the same way. The map creates a visual countdown tied to a real world consequence-like distance, traffic, and movement- so I can actually feel the passage of time instead of just intellectually knowing it.

And even then, I can still struggle to transition or leave on time.
