BE READY - Meeting Alarmsp/be-ready-meeting-alarmsEiji Akiyama•

How do you pull yourself out of "flow state" before a meeting?

Hey everyone!
I m getting ready to launch BE READY (an alarm app specifically built to give you buffer time to prepare before next meeting).

I built it because I often get hyper-focused on whatever I am working on and I was constantly joining calls completely unprepared my brain was still stuck on whatever I was working on before the meeting even after the Zoom link connected. I needed a way to force myself to pause and switch contexts so I am really ready for the meeting.

I m curious about your workflows: how do you manage the context-switch before a meeting starts? Do you set manual alarms? Do you just rely on the standard 10-minute calendar notification (even though it's easy to be suppressed by Silent or Do not Disturb modes)?
