Use Cool Timer, the digital timer, to be more productive

One way of having the information necessary to know how to make your day productive is to know how long tasks really take to perform.

Cool Timer can help.  It’s a free Windows digital timer with three modes  — stopwatch, countdown and alarm clock.

Click the stopwatch at the beginning of clearing your email and see how long that takes.  Give yourself 30 minutes to keep up-to-date with industry news.  You can even use the alarm clock to wake you from your power nap.
