A timer is to attention what accounting is to money. Without knowing your expenses, it's easy to waste money on unnecessary items—you might end up without savings or even bankrupt.
Many of us treat our attention similarly as if it's worthless. This reckless spending of concentration wastes time on things that don't matter and leaves you without time for those things that do.
"Great creative minds think like artists but work like accountants." - David Brooks
Using a timer resolves this problem. It forces you to manage attention intentionally and concentrate on only one activity at a time. This approach leads to greater productivity and quality of work.
