David Seah har lavet et ur til den ‘evig-og-altid’ forsinkede: Procrastinators Clock(Procrastinator = een der udsætter) løber op til 15 min hurtigere, men ikke nok med det.

[...] I came across the procrastinator’s clock, but the developer seems to have mistaken procrastination for a lack of punctuality. I have both, so I know the difference. Procrastination, in my experience, is a cause of impunctuality, such as delaying the moment of getting up, getting ready, doing something else instead of getting ready. Having the clock set fast doesn’t always help, because you usually remember that the clock’s fast. Having different clocks set fast by different amounts doesn’t work either. Having a clock that shows a time that may be up to 15 minutes fast might work, because you don’t know exactly how fast, if at all, it is. [...]

[...] A friend of mine just sent me a message saying that this idea reminded him of me. i wasn’t sure at first whether to feel offended that the first thing he thought of when he heard procrastination was me…then i realized that wasn’t what he was saying. i think. You see, when i was growing up, my mom always had clocks in our house and her car set about 12 minutes fast. It was to help her get places on time. It didn’t really help. If you know how fast clocks are set, it doesn’t take a mathematical genius to figure out what time it really is. And my mom was actually a math major in college, so my hunch is this self-trickeration (a word that i can’t stand but felt strangely compelled to use in this instance) didn’t work out to well. My hunch is backed up by the fact that i was late to virtually every soccer practice i ever went to as a kid. With my tendency to be late places, and this observation in hand, i took it one step further for a while, and set all of my clocks some random number of minutes fast. If ever i figured out how many minutes fast the one in my car in particular was, i would reset it. In retrospect, it seems that the one in my car was an odd choice for this treatment, given that once in my car, i really didn’t have much control over how long it would take me to get somewhere. Perhaps this purpose would have been better served by taking this approach with a clock i looked at before getting in my car. But i digress. Enter the clock above. Basically, what we have here is a clock for your computer that David Seah created to be some random number (between 0-15) of minutes fast at any given time…and it changes what that number is throughout the day. So, glance at the clock, and you may be behind. You might not. You have no way of knowing unless you look at a “real” clock. Whaddyathink? [...]

- Crooked Timber » » Probabilistic Alarm Clock
[...] Lifehacker links to an invention that I’ve thought for years would be a good idea (I’m sure that plenty of other people have come up with the same thought). Many people have their clocks running a few minutes fast, to encourage them to leave earlier for appointments to get there on time etc etc. The problem with this is that if you’re half-way rational, you’ll correct for the error, making it useless. So the solution is to have a probabilistic clock, where the clock is fast, but you aren’t sure how fast it is within a given and relatively short time range. Thus, you’re more likely to depart early for your appointments and get there on time (or a few minutes ahead, most probably, in many situations). This is exactly what some bloke has programmed, although it doesn’t appear that it has an alarm feature yet. posted on Wednesday, January 24th, 2007 at 10:15 am Post a comment [...]

- Akshay’s Blog » Blog Archive » A Clock for Procrastinators
[...] The Clock for Procrastinators is a really great modification to the common trick of setting your clock forward by X minutes. The problem with the regular approach is that you know you’ve set the clock forward by 10 minutes say, and so you can afford to be “10 minutes late”. Which invariably turns into 15 minutes late, or 5 minutes late in the real world. The approach this clock takes is that it guarantees that it will never be more than 15 minutes fast, but it could be anywhere from 0 to 15 minutes ahead of the real time. Since you don’t know whether its showing the real time or a time in the future, you’ve GOT to assume that its the real time and so plan accordingly. Brilliant. [...]
