When to use a 5-minute timer

Short timers like 5 minutes are great for breaking inertia. Commit to just 5 minutes of a task — most of the time you'll keep going past the bell.

How to run it

1. Pick ONE task. Write it down.
2. Open Promodify, set the focus length to 5 minutes.
3. Phone in another room. Start the timer.
4. When the bell rings, stop. Take a proportional break.
