180 Second Timer
A 180 second timer—exactly 3 minutes—is the ultimate “just enough” time block. It’s long enough to get something meaningful done, yet short enough to maintain full focus and avoid burnout. Whether you’re looking for a quick burst of productivity, a mental reset, or a structured pause, this countdown timer fits seamlessly into your day.

One 180 second timer is incredibly flexible. It’s ideal for:
- A speed tidy-up using the speed cleaning timer

- A calming breathing exercise using the meditation timer
- A quick stretch session with the stretching routine timer
This timer tool is perfect for squeezing structure and focus into otherwise scattered moments.
