The Many Uses of Timers

Kitchen timers are my best friend.  I use them when I’m cooking but I also use them for many other things.

I use timers:

• to remind me to switch my laundry.
• to alert me when it’s time to leave for appointments.
• to set limits when I’m working on a  project.
• to motivate me. Sometimes it’s hard to get started on something so I set the timer for 15 minutes and tell myself  I’ll work on it until the timer goes off.  Usually once I get started I don’t have any trouble continuing with  the next item on my “to do” list.

Timers are the best way I’ve found to keep myself focused.  What about you?  How can you use timers to make more your life more efficient?
