Voice In Canada Flash Briefing #1078
Hey there, Teri here with your flash briefing for Sunday and let’s answer a question from the community as we typically do on Sundays.
Feel free to join us at VoiceinCanada.ca/Community to join our Facebook community.
This question is from Meghan Fraser and she says, “Is there a way to set a reoccurring timer for every 20 minutes on the weekend or a potty time?”
Basically, she wants to have it automatically go off with a flushing sound for her toddler.
Great, great question and I can remember those days my kids are a little older now, Megan, but I certainly remember those days.
So a couple of answers here were given by some community members, Patrick Doyle suggested to set up a routine.
He also found a skill called interval notice, and I haven’t tried that one myself, so I can’t vouch for that.
the last one here, which I think is this simplest way of doing it.
But I trust Patrick, and if he says that’s a good skill for that, then I would definitely give that a try and finally, the last one here, which I think is this simplest way of doing it.
This answer is from Kathy Craven, and she says, she’s not sure how to get the flushing sound, but you can use a command such as, “Remind me every 20 minutes to (fill in the blank)”, in your case, you’d say go to the potty.
So that’s a pretty simple one and then when you want to cancel that you would just say cancel the reminder.
So I hope that is helpful for you and Meghan, a couple of different ways that you can try that out and I hope it’s helpful to everyone else.
So have a great rest of your Sunday and remember we the voice, talk to you later.
