Stop listening to podcasts. Enjoy the quiet. I use to fill up my day with listening to podcasts during all non-work time (e.g. driving in the car, exercising, even showering). It overloads your brain if it's having to process info during every waking moment. You brain just needs quiet time to think, relax and explore. I'm way more relaxed, creative and find unique solutions to problems now, than before.

Tap twice: +5 minute.
Tap three times: +20 minutes.
Tap secondary button: Reset timer.
And this app was always in foreground.

> Stop listening to podcasts. > > Enjoy the quiet. For me, this translates directly to “close this very tab.“ “Now.“ And I’ll do that, but I’ll hit reply first ;-).
Timers are great, I've been using them for more and more things lately. I still want to make a proper server-backed app one day that syncs any timers between devices though. I often enable them in my phone but then put it away when working on something on my PC and the widget in the app would be a good idea. Maybe even a plugin for my editor!
There is something really nice about having the timer disconnected from all other usability as a separate device and at the same time not having to care if it is lost or damaged.
I call my "timer" a "nagger" and use it via a shell nagme() function. Takes care of certain ADHD traits which were previously causing "refocusing" during unpleasant tasks, like emptying the washing machine (half or less clothes would go to the dryer and half would stay in the washing machine while I'd switch to other task). I learned to only turn off the nagger after completing a task and it works. It's used not just…

I don't know if it's a purely modern thing but quietness is I think straight up perceived as uncomfortable by a lot of people now. Had a conversation recently with someone saying that they can't have a meal without having something on in the background, and in conversations too people are very hung up about avoiding silence. it's really underdiscussed how averse people seem to just contemplation.

This reminds me of a feature I had enabled on my previous computer but hadn't enabled on my current one yet: having MacOS announce the time on the hour. Sometimes it would scare the crap out of me, but it was effective at breaking me out of the periodic trance state that's so easy to fall into. I think I'll enable that again...
Off topic, but just wanted to say I love the way this guy has repurposed a github repo to be a blog. One of the most effective integration of aesthetics and functionality of minimalism I've seen.
I love how simple markdown is and how covers most of my writing use cases.
