I bought a timer from King Arthur Flour that I really like - despite that it cost 3 or 4X an ordinary kitchen timer. It's on a cord to hang around your neck - this was my rational for overspending.

I set it at half-hour intervals, get up walk around, do something else for a few minutes, Come back, check what I've just done and continue sewing (or start ripping)
