Google Timer Tech Tip

I decided to choose the google timer as my tech tip because I am the worst when it comes to time management. The realization that I need to finish an assignment will not kick in for me until it is too late. This is why I would like to incorporate this timer into my daily regimen of doing homework.

One of the ways I want to use this timer is for my period of focus. I will set the timer to a certain amount of hours or minutes and during that time I will work hard to solely focus on the task at hand. Then afterwards, I will give myself a break also using the timer. This technique will hopefully help me separate my study time and my play time.

I will try to use this as intended and see if it will work for me.

  1. I have never tried using a time for any homework or studying. I see how setting a timer could be an advantage as it allows you to focus in all of your attention for that given amount of time. I like taking breaks after studying hard so I feel as if a timer could be helpful for me too. Thanks for the tech tip! I enjoyed it and will put the tip into use.

  2. This is such a good idea! I struggle with time management too. I think I struggle the most with keeping my focus when I am doing a specific task. I’ve never heard of the google timer but it sounds like it could help a lot. When I have something that I’m focusing on like trying to get as much done as I can in a certain amount of time, it keeps me focused and on task.

  3. I have used this tech tip as well. I really like how it keeps you focused. At first I thought that I would be too slow so I would quickly read the stories and realize I didn't remember what all had happened so I had to try it multiple times. In the end this really helped and I am glad that you are better at time management because of it.
