I bough two Time Timers recently - one for work and one for personal self care tasks. I bought this one for work and it sits under my main monitor at my desk. I use it to keep track of time during meetings, one-off tasks (so I don't get side tracked into countless other work rabbit holes), and I am incredibly surprised at how effective it is to keep me on track and focused. I've used pomodoro apps before, but for some reason having the physical Time Timer separate from my phone makes a huge difference. I also love manually setting the time. It's hands on, it gives me a much more deeper sense of control vs using a phone app. Love it more than I realized I would and highly recommend.
