1. What is the Ready Time Calculator?

The Ready Time Calculator helps you determine when you should start getting ready for an event by calculating the optimal start time based on your event time and preparation duration.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple formula:

Where:

• \( \text{Event Time} \) — The time your event starts
• \( \text{Prep Time} \) — The time needed to get ready (in minutes)
• \( \text{Ready Time} \) — The time you should start preparing

Explanation: This calculation ensures you have adequate time to complete all preparation activities before your event begins.

3. Importance of Planning Preparation Time

Details: Proper time management for event preparation reduces stress, ensures you arrive on time, and allows for unexpected delays. Planning ahead helps maintain punctuality and professionalism.
