Consider countdown timers for a moment. You probably use them when you put things in the oven, workout, or have an occasion. Countdowns can tell you the time when something has been completed or will occur.
For example, you must send a gift to parents by 8 PM. If you don't, it won't arrive on time for their anniversary. You may have written on your application for a to-do list, 'Send gift to parents before 8pm on December 10,. It's always the date of December 10 but when exactly is it? Imagine if you had a countdown clock to accomplish that task. It claims that it will take you one day, four hours, and 8 minutes to complete the task. The feeling of urgency is setting in and you sense the desire to be in the area sooner.
Start timers are an easy, yet incredibly useful way to assist you in staying focused on a task and complete it in a set amount of time. You can break down your work into smaller pieces by using the start 25 minute timer command. This helps make it less stressful and can help you keep your focus.
Sense of Urgency: Importance that demands swift actions
Let's take a look at a different example. Imagine that you were looking at the Home Shopping Network one day and you saw a 'deal of the lifetime'. How did they convince you to purchase the item? It is likely that they created a sense of urgency in you. But what specifically did they do? They added a 7 minute timer just on top of the price. Each minute and second resulted in a higher feeling of urgency to get that price. Therefore you caved and bought it, because you didn't want to miss that"deal of a lifetime'. Imagine if this same strategy could be applied to your tasks or projects.
With 7 minute timer, you see precisely how much time you've got left to finish your task or project. This means you will spend much less time using social media or browsing the web as well as speaking to your coworkers. Because you are driven to finish a project or task on time. You'll be more focused and less likely to become distracted by the work in front of you as this will help you be more productive.
To ensure that Urgent and important tasks are done on time It is possible to set countdowns. With the help of an Urgency Matrix, tasks and projects are moved from one quadrant to the next depending on time allocation. By using countdowns, your projects and projects automatically move from one quadrant to another. If you have quarterly reports that are due in the next month they will be in the Important but not the Urgent Quadrant However, as weeks and days pass they will move to the Urgent and Important quadrant. You can use the countdown to keep track of the changes and be prepared when the due date gets closer.
Motivation is the urge or will to do something.
Everyone doesn't want to be late for something crucial, such as your marathon time by 3 seconds or the bus by 10 seconds. It is a great motivator to make it happen faster or quicker by knowing how much time you have until your goal time. What should your list of tasks be any different? Knowing that you have just one hour to finish a task puts you in a motivated mental state to get ahead of the time and get it done. In combination with the feeling of urgency, you are unstoppable. The task is completed when you are done with 3 2 1. You will feel motivated and accomplished if you have the list of things you can complete before the time calculator runs out.
