Tech Tip: Google Timer

I'm so glad that this Tech Tip is available, because it's actually super useful. I use it all the time. Not only can it be used for popular timed work session techniques like Pomodoro, but it's also great for everyday things, like laundry or an oven timer. The best part is you can just have it in your web browser while you're doing something else, like homework, playing video games, or just general web surfing and it will still alert you when you need to do something.

It's also super easy, you can just time in the address bar (if you're using Chrome) or in Google web search "timer 20 minutes" or however long you need it for. You can also pause and reset the timer, which are pretty useful.

It would be cool if they let you add the task that you need the timer for, just in case you have multiple timers or if you're REALLY sleep deprived and need to be reminded (I know this has happened to me on occasion!)

All in all, it's a great tool!
