Small Changes, Big Results


Building a new habit can be daunting. The concept of "micro-habits" is to make the new behavior so small and easy that you can't say no. Timers are the perfect companion for this technique.


Examples of Timed Micro-Habits


- Reading: "I will read for just 5 minutes." Use the Custom Timer.

- Tidying Up: "I will clean for 10 minutes."

- Meditation: "I will meditate for 2 minutes."

- Focused Work: "I will work on my most important task for one 25-minute session." Use the Focus Timer.


By starting small and using a timer to define the boundary, you can build powerful new routines with minimal resistance.
