It is sometimes a good idea to limit our time. As we are a lazy animal, we don't move until the deadline comes close. Projects without deadline will not be accomplished forever. A kitchen timer is a useful gadget for limitation of short range time span -- I usually set 15 minutes for writing this blog article. I had been using the built-in timer of the iPhone until I got this carrot-shaped kitchen timer. The advantage of this single purpose timer to the iPhone's built-in timer is its easy operation and loud alarm sound. As you can see on the picture, we can set the time of 10 minutes, 5 minutes, 3 minutes, 1 minute and 10 seconds by one touch operation. We can set 15 minutes by tapping 10 minutes and 5 minutes button. As we rarely need to set the time for example 18 minutes and 15 seconds, this user interface usually works better than the iPhone. When I feel sleepy, I set this timer 30 minutes and go to bed. Before enjoying net surf or playing video game, I set it 20 minutes. If you feel you are wasting time, this gadget will save your precious time.
