⏱️ 5-Minute Timer
Try the smallest version of the task for five minutes. Stopping afterward is allowed.
Why 5 Minutes?
Big, boring, or unclear tasks can be hard to begin. A five-minute boundary makes the commitment smaller: choose one visible first action, start the timer, and see what happens.
How to Use It
Choose the smallest version—open the document, put one item away, or write one sentence—and work until the timer ends. Then decide whether to continue or stop. Either decision counts.
