Use this simple timer to help break up your day into small blocks of uninterrupted work. Get interrupted before the timer rings then you must abort the timer and start again. You'd be surprised at how many times you are interrupted or distracted.
The timer is basic, but deliberately so. More features are in the works but I want to ensure these don't distract your from the task in hand.
