Google Timer Tech Tip

I had never heard of the Google Timer before today. I know that my roommate always times himself for assignments, but it has never really appealed to me.

I tried using this timer for a short bit of writing I had to do today. I set the timer for 20 minutes and went for it. Surprisingly it actually did help a little bit. It helped to know that I probably shouldn't look at my phone or text a friend for the next few minutes because I was on the clock. I can see this being something I use in the future.
