How to Get a Reminder When It's Time to Leave for a Meeting

For in-person meetings and appointments, being "reminded about the event" is not always enough. What really matters is knowing when you need to leave.

Why leave-time reminders matter

A calendar event tells you when something starts. It does not always tell you when to stop what you are doing, get out the door, and account for traffic.

Why normal reminders fall short

A standard reminder might tell you the meeting is coming up, but it does not always solve the travel problem. That is especially true when the event has a location and the drive time changes.

What to look for in a leave-time alert

A useful leave-time reminder should:

  • recognize the event location
  • account for travel time
  • help you act before you are already behind
  • fit naturally into your existing calendar workflow

How OnTimer Time To Leave works
