What to use a 10 minute timer for
Ten minutes is long enough to finish a small job and short enough that you can fit it between other things. It is a popular length for hard-boiling eggs, face masks and quick guided meditations.
Many people also use it to time-box chores and decisions: ten minutes of tidying, ten minutes of answering messages, ten minutes of reading. When the alarm rings you stop, whatever is left waits for later.
- Hard-boiled eggs: roughly 10 minutes once the water is boiling, depending on size.
- A short guided meditation or a full-body stretch.
- A ten-minute email or inbox sprint.
- A face mask, hair treatment or any timed beauty routine.
