What’s the ultimate hack for writing productivity?
Set a timer.
Sounds easy right?
There’s no better way to plug into your writing and destroy distractions than by setting a timer and telling your mind you will write for the allotted time you’ve chosen. It works like Jedi magic.
And come to think of it… Magic is what you need in an online world where you’re distracted every couple seconds.
This timer, here, will help you get it done
Say you have a term paper coming up or you need to pay some bills. You could, of course, say you’re going to work on it, only to chat on instant messenger all night and check your Facebook. Problem is, that’s not going to get you a single step closer to getting things done.
But Tick Tock Timer will.
It’s your greatest ally when you want to be productive. It keeps you honest. It keeps you focused. All you have to do is set the timer for a duration of time you choose and work your little butt off until you hear the gong go off.
It’s that simple
Look at it this way: If you were to set the timer fully committed to working until it went off, not only would you push yourself to do it, you’d make serious progress. Wouldn’t you?
Exactly! Welcome to Tick Tock Timer, your one stop shop for kicking serious ass.
Here are some ways to utilise the timer
1) Short distractions? Doing your work, but your heart is itching with checking Facebook status? Give yourself a 5 minutes break. Remember to return when alarm rings. Stick to it.
2) Stuck with your assignments? Give yourself a 5 minutes time to write whatever that comes into your mind with a laser focus. Do not stop for grammar mistakes or spelling. See what can you come up within that period.
3) Do not want to start your assignment? Spend 10 minutes working on that assignment, and remove all the distractions. ONLY 10 minutes. If you get the momentum, ignore the alarm. If not, at least you’ve start working for 10 minutes already. Better than none, right?
And here are extra 20 ways to use Tick Tock Timer at official website.
