How to time meditation without phone? (slrpnk.net)

Hi, I was wondering how people would time a 1 hour meditation session without setting an alarm on their phone.

I don't really want to keep my phone with me during meditation, but I do want to have a way to notice it's time to stop.

People somehow managed this in the past before phones existed right? So what would be a good way to do this?

Incense sticks

This is the way.

Once you stop smelling the stick you're done

I find it quite difficult to notice however. And maybe if your mind is drifting a bit, you might not realise it's already gone.

But I suppose this is something that improves if you do it regularly that way

I like this incent stick idea. Also you could play a meditation track that is an hour long and you will know it's over when you don't hear it. That's the audio equivalent
