  • Mini planning session: Organize your priorities, draft a task list, or prep for your next meeting.
  • Speed cleaning challenge: How much can you tidy in 285 seconds? Test it with a speed cleaning timer.

One of the best things about the 285 second timer is its versatility. It works as a standalone productivity timer or fits right into longer strategies like Pomodoro. It’s perfect for those moments when you don’t have much time but still want to stay productive.
