Ways to use a 15 minute timer
A quarter of an hour is the length of a classic stand-up meeting, a quick power nap and a decent speed-clean of a room. It is also the usual length of the long break after four Pomodoro sessions.
Because fifteen minutes feels manageable, it is a good block for tasks that you keep postponing: a phone call, a form, a small piece of admin.
- A daily stand-up or a short catch-up call that must end on time.
- A power nap of around 15 minutes, short enough to avoid grogginess.
- A speed clean: set the timer and race it.
- The long break after four Pomodoro sessions.
