All right, now we're going to figure out how do we how do we know what time all these things need to
happen? Well, I'm sharing with you my spreadsheet that you can enter all the things in. Now some of
you were gonna be like, I hate spreadsheets, please don't make me that's fine too, you can figure it out
by hand, if you want, I find that the spreadsheet, even if you're not a big fan, this spreadsheet is way
easier to calculate than trying to do it by hand. So it's totally up to you. No hard feelings either way,
you're going to put all of your activities that are happening consecutively into the spreadsheet. And then
at the bottom there, you're going to put in what time you have to leave, it will then calculate based on
the numbers you put in what time you need to start. And then you'll know how many minutes it was
where all your reminders are, because you can go through and be like, Okay, I want to remind her after
we finished breakfast, here's how many minutes is that. So when you put it into Alexa your intelligence
start time, and then you're going to tell it Okay, three minutes later, do this five minutes later, do this six
minutes later to do this.

That's where the spreadsheets really helpful, where it tells you exactly how many minutes you need to
add in between your, your different tasks, I think they're called in their head. That's right word, and to
know when you're going to tell Alexa to do what. So that is how you're going to figure out what your
start time is based on what what all the activities that you need to do, and your family needs to do.
Based on what time you need to leave, as well as where all the reminders are going to fall in the list.
Now, there's a very good chance that you're going to look at that start time and go, heck no, Patricia,
that is ridiculous. Yes, it is.

When I first did this, my start time was like ridiculous earlier was like 515 or something. And I was like,
What am I getting up at 515? Well, this is the point where you can also go back and redo the steps that
we just said, don't be like, I don't want to redo it. Okay, you're not redoing the whole thing. What I want
you to go back and think about is how did you order things? Can you reorder them in a way that makes
it a little bit faster? Can you lower any friction points? Is there something you could do earlier, but also,
but also, when you're doing this reordering? Keep in mind that remember, we gave ourselves a lot of
extra wiggle room? Because we want to have extra time, not less time. We want it to be too much, then
