Only start a wait countdown when there is a known duration, such as a five-minute pause before a scheduled group activity. Explain that duration and the next step before starting.

If the start time is uncertain, provide an estimate with that uncertainty rather than an exact promise. The countdown cannot measure heart rate or determine how someone feels while waiting.

In this way, a visual timer acts as a simple biofeedback tool, helping you maintain a "rest and digest" state even during periods of transition or delay.
