how do i set an alarm for 20 minutes?

When you need a timed reminder, an alarm is often the best route. Whether you want to be alerted after 20 minutes of starting a task or setting it ahead of time, follow these steps to set your alarm.

1. Set Your Alarm Clock

If you have an analog clock with bells or digital device with an alert sound, use that to set the 20-minute reminder. Determine what time it is now and add 20 minutes. Then set the clock's minute and hour hands (for analog clocks) or press the appropriate buttons for a digital device. After ensuring that your clock displays the correct time and date (if applicable), make sure to test it with a few rings before setting your alarm for 20 minutes from now.

2. Use an App or Online Alarm Clock

If you don't have access to a physical alarm clock, use one of numerous available apps or online alarm clocks such as TimeAndDate Alarm Clock, Worldtime Buddy, Online Clock and others available for smartphones, tablets, computers and other devices. The fundamental principles are the same—set the desired time for a reminder.

3. Adjust Settings As Needed

Once your alarm is set, determine if there are any additional preferences that can help maximize its effectiveness: With digital devices you can customize alert sounds and audio volume; with analog ones you may want to minimize ambient noise distractions; on some platforms you may be able to assign notes and comments or even file attachments that are accessible in combination with your timetable; etc., depending on available options from this particular app/platform provider.
