Concentrating is hard, so to help me get more done, I made this digital timer. The idea is to set a short, focused amount of time to get into some deep work, and take regular breaks. Having a visual indicator of the time really helps keep the momentum going.
I probably could have used my phone or another device, but I wanted something custom made and dedicated to this purpose only - and it's just more fun to make things yourself
