What a handy little gadget the Time Timer is to help you organize your time!   The next time you need to make sure time doesn’t get away from you, pull out your Time Timer and make sure you are in control; be the boss!  The great feature is the red shading that allows you to see and follow the passage of time.  This can be a very handy tool for children as well.  I had just a regular dial timer when my kids were small and I know how handy even that was for clean up time and many other tasks. 

It can be easy to get sucked into a task like email and before you know it, a 10 minute task turns into a 40 minute task.  That’s not good when you have a deadline to meet or a lot to get done in your day.  Here are some handy ways you can use a timer to keep you on track:

• To set an allotted time for surfing the web
• To set an allotted time for spending  time on social media
• To break down tasks into smaller chunks
• To allow yourself not to feel overwhelmed by a task-you can set the timer and do ‘anything’ for just 15 minutes!
• To give yourself 10 minutes of clean up/put away time at the end of a task or the end of the day
• To keep yourself from wasting time-beat the clock!

You can also purchase software to load onto your computer if you would rather have a Time Timer working on your screen while you are spending time on your computer.  It’s so easy to spend more time than we mean to on the computer.  A great tool to remind kids when their screen time is up as well.

Organize your time and strive to be more productive each day!
