DID YOU KNOW

Did you know that using a countdown timer helps boost one's productivity? According to Shawn Razek in his article, "Why Everyone Can Benefit from Using Countdowns", using a countdown timer helps a person focus on the important tasks to get completed before it is due. This is because countdowns let a person see the time left. Hence, allowing one to handle tasks with a sense of urgency. Razek also argues that countdown motivates a person by increasing their willingness to get something done. He explains that seeing how little the time is left to complete a task puts a person in a motivated state of mind. This suggests that a countdown timer helps a person manage their time and priorities.

Meanwhile, many things are going digital, and one of these is the countdown timer. Nowadays, anyone can have a countdown timer on their smartphone. Because smartphones have a pre-installed countdown app. Furthermore, there are countdown timer apps with different features becoming available to download for Android and iOS users. Indeed, downloading countdown applications is very helpful as it boosts one's productivity. It also helps people remember certain events that are about to happen. So why not download one of this countdown apps to increase your productivity?
