Whether it is cooking, or setting timers, is anyone else able to very accurately predict timers.

E.g.cset the oven for 35 minutes, then walk into the kitchen with 1 min left on the timer?

My job requires a lot of running tests that take half an hour, 1 hour etc. I have been doing some other things, and wondered "the test has to be done now". As I am taking my phone out of my pocket, my alarm goes.

And this is my work phone, not my fun phone! Work phone normally sits on my desk all day getting ignored!!

I can usually guess the time of day to within about fifteen minutes’ accuracy, even when it’s been hours since I last saw a clock.

I also have a peculiar ability to catch falling things. It’s VERY fast, and doesn’t seem to involve conscious thought. It just happens like a reflex.
