What to do with a 60 minute timer

Sixty minutes is the length of a lesson, a training session, a long meeting or a deep-work block. It is long enough for real progress and short enough to commit to without feeling trapped.

If you work in hour-long blocks, a timer protects the end of the session as much as the start: when it rings you decide to continue or to take a proper break.

  • A deep-work block with notifications off.
  • A class, workshop or one-to-one that must finish on the hour.
  • A full workout including warm-up and cool-down.
  • A cooking step such as roasting, slow simmering or proofing dough.

How to use the 60 minutes timer

  • Press Start. The countdown for 60 minutes begins right away.

  • When time is up an alarm sounds and your message appears. Press Stop to silence it.
