Request for an app that will prevent you from being late.
 

Ok, here's the deal. I'm always running to the train because I do things at the last moment, so I have an idea for an app that prevents this.

Since I use my phone as my only clock, and I don't have another at home, I would like to request an app that changes the time.

Idea:
At a chosen time, like 4AM ( you can chose whatever time you want ) the app changes your phone clock randomly forward 1 - 10min ( you can chose whatever interval you want ), that means that you never know how much in advance your clock is, it could be 3min or 9min, then you need to stick to the time your phone shows.
Et voilà, never late again.
Is this possible? Anyone out there that would like to make one/has a need for one themselves?

I would make it myself, but my programing skillz are close to zero.

you will still be late, you'll mentally factor in that your phone is anything up to ten mins early, if its only 3mins early you'll be extra late. if you think you can overcome the mental aspect of it then just set your frickin phone ten mins early all the time and then forget about it.

or, have a friend to randomly forward a min count on your phone. and not tell you about it

have a WHAT randomly forward the clock? if this idea has unmet dependencies from the start you may aswell forget it! :P

Sometimes you need help with changing your personality, and if that doesn't work, go for a failsafe way. It would work for me.

app to prevent you from being late... hmm... calender/alarm maybe? ;)

Just checked the date and it isn't april 1st, so the OP must be genuine.

1. set an alarm, and put the phone out of reach.

2. set a second alarm...

3. set tasks and email alerts on something like Remember the Milk.

are you sure you havent installed an app that sets the calendar forward random intervals so you can get the christmas shopping in on time?
