What twenty minutes are good for
The ring turns coral for the last 2 minutes. If your laptop sleeps, the timer shows the right time again when it wakes, because it counts to a fixed end time.
- Focus block. Work on one task for twenty minutes with notifications off, then take a short break. Repeat.
- Short test or exam section. Time one section of a test, with the clock on the board so nobody has to ask how long is left.
- Breakout rooms. In a video call, share the timer tab before you open breakout rooms, then share it again when people return.
- Workshop exercise. Twenty minutes fits a hands-on task with a few minutes to tidy up the result.
