New page

Typical alarm clocks are ''hard'' in the sense that they require precisely choosing some future moment in time at which to sound the alarm. Some alarms have a "snooze" button, but these snoozes come at fixed intervals. [[Spaced repetition]] systems can act as ''soft'' alarm clocks; you communicate basically "just leave me alone for a while", and each time you say that, the "alarm clock" leaves you alone for longer and longer periods of time. This can be useful for speculative projects in a to-do list (i.e. where you don't ''need'' to do these tasks, but they're sort of like "I'm kinda excited about doing this some day").
