The secret to smoother transitions for me has been the consistent use of visual clocks.

A digital alarm or a sudden realization that "it’s time to go" is jarring. It triggers a stress response because it feels like an interruption.

I keep a visual timer visible for every major transition in my day. By seeing the time as a physical quantity, I stay grounded in the reality of my schedule. I don't get "lost" in a task because the visual anchor is always there, showing me where I am in relation to the next activity. This has dramatically reduced my daily decision fatigue and sensory overwhelm.
