If you have been chasing the perfect focus timer for way too long. You know the type something physical that sits on your desk, lets you twist a dial to set a timer, and triggers your entire workspace into "Do Not Disturb" mode without ever touching your phone. The idea isn't new. There was even a Kickstarter project called TimeChi that promised exactly this. Spoiler: it never shipped.

According to Dr. Jenny Shields, a licensed psychologist based in Texas, this hack is perfect for those "I can't even open my laptop" moments where you feel frozen and overwhelmed. The hope is that once you get over the initial mental hurdle of beginning a task, you'll get on a roll, feel more productive, and sail to the finish line.
