8. I frequently set a timer for various things.

Such as if I'm cooking something that I don't need to be hovering over, but I don't want it to boil over or burn or whatever. Or as a reminder to let cooked food cool down to where it can safely be refrigerated.

Similarly, if I weren't staying in the kitchen but were filling up the sink for any reason, I'd set a timer. It's the timer going off that reminds me of whatever it is I need to check on.

Not sure if this will help you, but I'm offering it anyway.
