I love this article and I've never timed any of my tasks before today! It was interesting to think about how much time my regular tasks take, minus distractions, that is. I passed your article on at Homemaker Barbi today. Thanks again, Danelle

@Shelly G That’s an excellent point, about talking yourself into a task. When there’s a time limit it does seem so much better! Great tip to point out.

@Peggy darn free spirited hippies You know, this trick works for me on work stuff, but I don’t use it for chores. But I’m fairly efficient there.

The only thing I can stand to use a timer for is cooking.

I’d hate to work that way! I don’t keep track of how much time I spend on projects unless I’m being paid by the hour. I don’t want to know… I’m too much of a free spirit I guess.

I love using my timer. It helps me to focus and I get so much done. I find that if I move to the next task when the timer goes off, I get a lot more accomplished overall… I also use my time to say ” I only have to do this for 15 minutes…” I can usually talk myself into doing even the worst task when I know there is a time limit
