I did (and still use) alarms on my iPhone to remind me before events that I absolutely cannot miss. I agree with your point but I think you can find a balance between not missing the train and having a clock chained to your ankle.

You mentioned your iPhone clock is set to a random time zone. So one can assume that when you put events into your iPhone calendar, you must do the math?

If you add the event like.. "Take train at 2PM EST" it will do the math for you

Totally agree. Time is a useful tool, use it wisely.

> it really doesn't help you when you miss a train because you misread the sun.

I imagine Daylight Saving Time and cloudy days wreak havoc with methods like the author uses.
