I started using the hourly chime on my wrist watch and found it helps ground me. The trouble is the chime can be disruptive at night, and it’s tedious to turn it on and off every day. I’m hoping to find a clock (not a wrist watch)-- of decent build quality-- with an adjustable chime (volume and active window). I don’t care if the clock mechanisms are mechanical or not, so long as the chime is pleasant.
I’m struggling to get satisfying web-search results, but I thought others with ADHD may already have a similar solution. Anyone have a clock with a chime you’d recommend?
I don’t have an answer for you, but our grandfather clock goes off every 15 minutes, and I’ve found that really helps me keep track of the time and not accidently get sucked into any one thing for hours on end.
So, I totally get where you’re coming from.
Yeah-- it’s one of those things that was everywhere when I was younger: school, my grandparents’ home, nearby church-bells (I once had a job/shift that started when emergency sirens were being tested at 1pm every Saturday). It was background noise I took it for granted. After a number of moves and lifestyle changes I seem to have lost most audio time-cues without realizing it. And it’s been years before I realized.
