Set Your Intention

Have a goal in mind that you would like to accomplish. This could be a task or project at work, at home, or in a group setting like a classroom.

25 Minutes of Work

Flip the black sand timer for 25 minutes of uninterrupted focus. Using this technique, this is the optimal amount of time to dedicate your full attention to a task. Put your full effort into maintaining focus for the 25 minutes until the sand runs out. The more you practice, the easier it will be to maintain!

5 minutes of Rest

Flip the gold sand timer for 5 minutes of relaxation. Use this time to recharge your brain by going for a walk, eating a nutritious snack, grabbing a coffee, or doing a short meditation. This will help your brain to fully relax, allowing for restored focus, problem solving, and creative flow for your next 25 minute session of work.

Repeat the Process

You can repeat this process as much as you need until the task or project is completed. Practicing this technique consistently trains your brain to work (and rest!) efficiently.

Improve Your Time Management Skills

Training your brain to focus during work and relax during rest in the form of intervals hands-down improves your skills in time management. No more feeling like the day completely got away from you. With this technique using the sand timers you are in total control of your valuable time, harnessing it to create the optimal work day.

Reduce Mental Fatigue

You may not believe it until you try it, but the resting intervals using the 5 minute sand timer are absolutely crucial for productivity. Our brains work best when we balance work with rest, and avoid mental fatigue. Allowing breaks creates space in our minds to re-evaluate, problem solve, think creatively, and maintain a sense of calm throughout the day.

Increase Productivity

Do you ever feel like you’re “in the zone” when you’re working on a project or task every once in a while? How incredible would it be to access that all the time? This technique using 25 minutes of work followed by 5 minutes of rest is proven to help get you in that productivity zone time after time throughout your day.

Cultivate Mindfulness

Implementing this method using the sand timers will help you cultivate an improved state of mindfulness. Mindfulness is an invaluable tool to acquire and maintain, not only in your work life but in your personal life as well.
