Transcript

I'm starting a new series called I bought it because it looked cool. Flow timer from minimal. There's a few reasons that I bought this thing. Number one, the ad said it was a full metal body design, so I'm in. This is the inside card. And this I assume is the flow timer. Number two, I like the fact that it is physical. Like physical button tactile things. I just miss the tactile buttons. I hate when there's like massive touch screens. I just miss the tactile things. Yeah. Oh, nice. Three, I actually think I genuinely have some sort of attention deficiency. Need. My. Have. Standing for the timer. It's got USB-C at the back, so you can charge it and obviously power it. Oh, it's got stand. Hold it like this if you really wanted. Dial here. We have two buttons here. Reset. Not sure what this one is. On the side, right here we have three buttons. Oh, nice. I'm. The flow timer from minimal desk setups. So if you're interested in knowing what a pomodoro timer does, basically it's a technique to boost concentration and help improve your focus, which is something I need. Traditionally done by a 25-minute work block followed by a 5-minute break. Then you just do like three or four of those, and then you can take like a 15 to 30 minute break after that. And yeah, just helps you focus on work. I like the design of this thing. So I think it looks really cool. 25 minutes starts now. Flow timer from minimal desk setups. I like the design of this thing.
