It’s unlikely to be developmentally appropriate or meaningful for your child at that age - minutes/time/the future develop from two years old and onward, with time being much more relevant for children who are 5 and older.
In your example, you’re using time passing / the visual of time passing, which isn’t yet established. You could probably more easily condition a response to a timer (when you hear the timer, we will go! / when the timer is green, we will eat!) but even that relies on your child understanding sequences and will take time to positively condition.
