It certainly does I'm going to tempt fate and do another ten minutes. In fact, I'm going to put my phone alarm on as I go out the kitchen door, to make sure it's only ten

I do that a lot & it works really well for me

Me three!

15 minute bites on a tired day and 20 minute chunks when I have energy! With lots of utoob breaks in between

Yah. Another one for our wee club. :j. :j

Oh how nice! I'm really happy about that I haven't really put the alarm on before!

I love a good timed challenge. I'm going to need some of those myself over the next few days.
Work is going to be incredibly busy.

(Hence the early hours positing and the lack of sleeping...)

Wish.

I set alarms for myself all the time :rotfl: usually in my case to force myself to do things I can't really be bothered to do (often housework )

I do it a lot at work too :rotfl: lately I've had about eight different things that need doing at work, whichever I did I always felt like the others needed doing first so I wasn't making progress on any of them - until I started setting the timer and drawing them out of a hat :rotfl:

That way I figured it wasn't ME deciding which to do first as they all had an equal chance of being picked :rotfl: and with a timer set for 45 minutes I could get round them all several times in a week.

And if course once I actually sat down and DID something (rather than just fretting about it all) a couple of them got finished within the first 45 min slot, freeing up more time for the others (bit like debt snowballing I suppose :rotfl: )

So yay to timers I say! Whether for stopping you going down internet rabbit holes, pacing yourself, doing things you've been putting off, or whatever, they're great :j (I should point out with housework mine are often set for 5 minutes at a time initially as I'm so reluctant :rotfl: )

Another here with timers. Yet mine seem to be more informal and based around cups of tea! And they're very effective for work when you have that enormous list of jobs and loads of them little fiddly things!

Good lord, that is early :eek: I slept a little bit better, happily.

I must have read it on your diary unconsciously, Cheery, and picked it up that way. I love your tasks lottery, by the way, that's really something.

Ah, timing the breaks as well as the work! I can't use that in my present level of health, but I can when I'm better. Timing is all, quite literally

My Asda delivery is turning up this afternoon - no gluten free pasta at all, grrr! Thats part of the reason I don't shop regularly with them, this is the 2nd time its happened in the last 3 months. I **need** pasta!

I've been waiting to get well enough to phone my brother, and I'll do that this morning, he sent me a linkie last night to a site in North Wales that means a great deal to us, and thats very rare

Otherwise, I'll do a bit of faffing in the front - waiting for Asda, I guess though right now its emails and whatnot and mse too.
