When you are unsure how long a routine takes, choose a work window and observe what fits within it. For example, use ten minutes to clear a small area and note what remains.

Use that observation to plan the next attempt. A countdown is a measurement reference, not a correction for a cognitive condition or a promise that your future estimates will become accurate.

To fix our flawed internal clock, we need an external anchor. A visual timer acts as a "prosthetic" for our sense of time. It provides a constant, objective update on the passage of time that doesn't rely on our subjective feeling.
