What is a 1 minute timer good for?
One minute is short enough to give everything you have and long enough to matter. It is the natural length for a plank hold, a cold-water finish in the shower, or a rest between hard sets at the gym.
It is also a classic speaking limit. Most people talk at roughly 130 words per minute, so a one-minute pitch is about 130 words. Run it a few times and you will find out quickly what to cut.
- Hold a plank, wall sit or dead hang for the full minute.
- Rehearse an elevator pitch or the opening of a talk.
- Take a one-minute breathing break: about six slow breaths.
- Play timed rounds of a quiz, charades or a typing test.
