I love the timer on my iPad Mini. I can trick myself into action by setting the the 20 minute timer.
I say to myself,
“Ok let’s see what I can do in 20 minutes. Then I can quit or go have some fun.”
Usually about one hour later, I have done three 20 minute sessions and have my task done. I use this timer trick for anything that I want to do but for some reason I am resisting doing it.
- testing new printing tools
- writing blog posts
- cleaning my studio
- even playful printing
The thing I love about my iPad timer is that it has fun tunes to choose as “alarms.” So after 20 minutes, I heard this pleasant rewarding sound, and I feel good about what I have just accomplished. Usually it is really easy to continue on for another 20 minutes.
Do you have ways to motivate yourself into action? Try the 20 minute timer trick and see if it helps.
Happy printing!
I love this idea of setting the timer to get going on something! I’m going to try it. Sometimes we just need a kick-start to get us going whether it be a fun task or not so fun task!
I use it all the time. It really helps.
Happy printing!
