My partner grew up sailing, so our version of this is "Set the table, aye!" It's exceptionally useful, especially when you can't start doing the thing right away.
Teach kids to respond to time warnings like actors respond to their stage manager, a system that ensures the message has actually been received. "We're putting shoes on in ten minutes!" "Thank you, ten!" "Dinner will be ready in five minutes!" "Thank you, five!"
