A 15 minute timer is usually good for most things. I either get done what I need to, or am so in the zone I want to keep going even after the timer goes off.
I never have any idea how much time has passed. Also useful for something that can go on indefinitely like trying to pick a movie - at the end of ten minutes a decision must be made.
uhhhhhh actually i am creating new life and investing in microbiomes not known to you yet simply by laying very still and watching love is blind all day. this is productive and necessary.
