Time Timer PLUS 60 Minute Timer - Desktop Sized Visual Countdown Timer with Portable Handle(Gray)

The 'visualness' of the timer, the pause button and the fact that you have to physically turn the dial all help me do my 'eat the frog' tasks, by making me calculate the amount of time i think it would take to complete the task and then physically turn the dial! If I get distracted or have to do another quick task, I can pause it easily. All this is better than an app, and dont get me wrong the app is great but having it as a physical presence next to my place of work really works for me!

OK. So I´ve had the classic 60m Time Timer (the small one that has a transparent base to flip as a cover for traveling) for a while. Got it on the pandemic to stay focused doing my Pomodoro Technique intervals during those strange times. But now—for my birthday—got myself this cutesy purple one that is really just for myself, purple is my favorite color since child, it´s 120m and it´s a reminder that my time is my life and therefore is valuable. I chose this model with a handle to carry it from my home office, to my home pilates studio, to the kitchen. With the aim to make sure I make enough time for what matters to me, like 2h of training/ meditating/ self care, doubled in 4h of focused work, 2h of resting and contemplating the trees. But also importantly to not give more time than necessary to things that I do out of convenience like 2h of dishes/ laundry, 2h of answering idle emails/ social media scrolling to watch the news. Honestly, has taken me years to protect my time/ life this way and some times just seeing the physical Time Timer there has been a reminder of setting boundaries and also to give myself permission to enjoy without rushing having plenty of time. Can´t send you picture of the purple one because it´s not my birthday yet and haven´t unboxed it but here´s the picture of the OG. And yes, eventually I want to get the big one to stick it into a kitchen wall exclusively for domestic chores or restful slow cooking. Mmm... Yes, I´m happy. If you´re reading I feel the best you can give yourself is TIME to enjoy life and these clocks help you to do just that—to make time to take your time. Thank you Time Timer!
