🧠 Why 5 Minutes?
Psychologists often recommend working in short bursts to beat procrastination. It’s known as the “just do five minutes” trick: telling your brain, “I’m only doing this for 5 minutes” is often enough to build momentum. Once the timer’s ticking, the resistance fades.
It works for:
- Studying
- Cleaning a room
- Getting started on a project
- Writing a few lines
- Brushing your teeth (kids love it!)
🎨 Designed for All Ages
This isn’t just another boring countdown. The pixel-font display and colour shifts (especially in the final seconds) add an element of playfulness and urgency. It’s as helpful for grown-ups looking to focus as it is fun for kids trying to stick to routines.
