If you don’t already use a timer to boost your productivity you’re missing out. Pretty much each productivity book, blog and web site out there recommends a timer to help you get things done.
Some of you might be going old school and using a kitchen timer. But, if you’ve had enough of that once adorable ticking chicken, check out cool timer.
It’s quick and easy to download and equally easy to use. You can set it up to be an alarm clock, a count down timer or a stopwatch. When the designated time arrives, cool timer can play a preset sound or an MP3 file from your personal library.
I like to set a timer for a certain amount of time when doing chores like cleaning the kitchen or working on tasks I don’t enjoy as much. That way, I know I only have to do it for a certain amount of time. The added bonus with cool timer is that I can play some tunes I enjoy at the end of the task. Right now I’m enjoying “Sweet Home Chicago” from the Blues Brothers soundtrack every time my cool timer goes off.
