I’ve tried the timer method – and it works. It’s not a habit yet… so I often forget the technique.
Until I’ve implemented and used a technique for several weeks it doesn’t become a habit… and I fall
off the wagon.

I’ve tried software based timers so I could track my time per task. Not my favorite solution. A wind up physical timer
ticks and makes me anxious. I’ve tried an egg timer… but without a buzzer – well let’s just say it was easy to miss
the deadlines. Finally – I purchased a digital timer with an alarm and it works perfectly.

Where did I put that new timer? I think it needs a leash connected to the laptop!

I love that. So, so true. And yet, so hard to remember!

One of my favorite ways to chunk up my day is to use a timer. I set my timer for 15 minutes and vow to do nothing else but this task I am working on. No email, no Twitter, no surfing. Just focus. Rinse. Repeat.
