Focus Your Time With The Action Machine

Having a timer for your focus blocks is a great way to push yourself to get more focussed work done.

In my opinion, the best timer system for people working on computers is the Action Machine by Derek Franklin: http://ping.fm/EBxVU

Set it up with two 50 minute blocks separated by a 10 minute block, then put a 30 minute block at the end.

Choose the things you need to focus on for the day and set which order you'll do them in. How many focus blocks (the 50 minute block) will you need to get it done?

Once you've sorted all that out, start the timer and work until you're done. Don't worry, the Action Machine will make sure you know when the timer has finished!
