I hit the exact same issue - so I refuse to turn off the alarm until I'm actually doing the thing. Eventually the distraction of the continous alarm pisses me off that I give up on my task.

And I can't immediately do the thing, I snooze the alarm.
That's why I turn off the oven at the same time. Even if I forget the food in there for a few minutes or a weekend or whatever, at least it's not making the house smell bad.
We once came home from a two week vacation to an awful smell. We've forgotten a pasta dish in the (turned off) oven.
Timer goes on the oven.
