it’s fine just start the load over 😎

Yepp, that's a risk.

See, this is where shit like Amdroid comes in handy. Among the challenge (dismiss your alarm) options, they have NFC and QR/barcode as options. So you can force yourself to not be lazy by creating a tag, barcode or QR code that lives next to the thing you need to do by having to scan your verification to be able to shut your phone up.

I don't really have much advice on making you accountable to yourself, but the little things like this help force you to adult and not fuck up as much. Only thing that worked for me was to give myself a ton of anxiety so that overcoming my laziness/forgetfulness to prevent me from feeling the crippling anxiety from not getting shit done. 2/10, don't recommend.

Oh fuck yes. Only problem is remembering to add/update events. And with three adhd af people working off of a shared calendar.... Well, I'm just surprised we don't double book more often.

Your phone timer.

Ngl I find using an oven or microwave timer to be most effective, something external that I have to get up and go turn off forces me to deal with it immediately, phone alarms can be silenced and ignored lol

If you're on Android, I
Amdroid is great. Combination alarm clock/countdown timer, let's you save many different countdowns/alarms with names and alerting styles.

I use it all the time to make sure I don't forget shit. Washer and dryer each have a countdown for the length they run, along with dishwasher for the same reason.

I also use LifeUp to gamify my task list to help ensure I (generally) remember to do my daily/weekly tasks.

Ours only takes a regular 15 amp circuit and washer hookups. Seems doable to have two to me. We just didn't because we're on a septic system and don't want to overload it.

Home assistant is gonna be your friend. Get a power sensor or vibration sensor and set up an automation to detect when the machine is running and then when done it'll remind you (as often as you need) until you dismiss the reminder or click a button or whatever you need.

Ah yes ours just gives a notification when it's ready. Plus the display will always show how much time is left and it'll show up in the app as well. If its not dry yet it'll adjust the timer but it always gives an estimate on when it should be finished (time left as well as the expected time it will be finished).

I can hear the tune from the other room, but I like the notification on my phone as a bonus!
