How do you remember to check on patients q 15min or 2hrs, etc?

I'm still a student but i wanted to ask a real nurse how they go about remembering to check on certain patients that require being checked on every 15 min, 2 hrs, or whatever... do you have alarms on your watch? does it pop up on your pc when its time? mental note? Thanks.

i have a watch with an alarm so i use that. it's easier to keep track of things especially when your tasks do not exactly fall on the hour but some random time like 3:48 lol
