Thanks Karyn. I didn't even think of that.

I don't remember if I have shared this site or not. The timer I use for my

stuff is an online timer. It works great to keep me focused. Just thought I

would share again, or for the first time if I haven't shared it before.

I use it for a lot of things to keep me focused. I tend to try to do too many

things at the same time and then get scattered with nothing done!

When I am dragging and need to do some breaths, I'll set the timer for 15

minutes, get up from my desk and get to breathing. I used to try to breath

through reading of e-mails, but I got sidetracked too easily and realized I was

only half breathing and half paying attention to what I was reading. So.... now

I put on the timer and the breathing gets my full attention for that period of

time.

I also use it to keep my focused on office stuff. When I have lots of fires to

put out, I set the timer and focus on one thing for that period of time, then

when it goes off, I move to the next fire whether I'm done or not. I rotate

between three fires with my fourth 15 minutes for me as a

breathing/bathroom/water break. This keeps me stress free and very productive.

:-)

During the day I work in my husband's law office as a bankruptcy specialist. I

take people through the process, I set up spending plans for them, I organize

their situation to help them with a better plan so they can get a fresh start.

People tend to panic when their paychecks are being garnished, or bank accounts

frozen or they are in the process of losing their home. As you can imagine, I

have plenty of fires to put out and of course everyone's situation is very

important so I have to be organized and productive. The timer helps me when I

find myself drowning in confusion over which emergency is most important. I

pick three and go at it. :-) Plus it helps me to take care of me. I'm a

workaholic and forget to take time to breath and drink my water. LOL

Does that help?

Re: Timer

Karma,

I visited the site but do not understand what you use it for exactly. In what

regard is it helpful? It looks interesting though.

I'm wondering how I might use it to keep me focused with at home business,

study time, exercise, etc. I get overwhelmed at times with, not so much the

multi-tasking of daily life itself, but remembering it all.

I would very much appreciate your input of how you make the timer work in your

life. It looks like a nifty little gadget.

Thanks.

Smiles & Hugs,

:-)
