Is there a clock in your sewing area?

I set a timer for 20 minute segments. Since I'm ADHD I've learned to use a timer for everything. If I get off task it will refocus me and I don't waste huge amounts of time. It also reminds me to get up, stretch, get blood recirculating in the legs, etc. It is really useful when I get on the computer.

I am one with clocks in every room, some have more than one. One of my friends buys me a new, wonderful clock every year for X-mas. The one in my sewing sits by my computer where I can see it. I like to watch the clock so I know when to cook, when to check mail, etc. I would be lost without one so that's why every room has at least one. ticktockticktock

I have a 3" clock in the bedroom sewing area - just so I can see what time it is without getting up.
I have a clock radio in my large sewing area. It has a 'sleep mode'. When you press a button, it plays for 1 hour and shuts off.
I use this mode when I'm trying to sneak in a fast/quick/get her done iron/decide/cut/sew/cleanup-athon...(usually in the morning before work :) or before starting dinner). I can hear the local news and weather and time and work quickly till the radio shuts off one hour later.
It's amazing what I can accomplish with a limited amount of time like 1 hour! I STAY FOCUSED to the task at hand and let the laundry and dinner wait...cause I only have 1 hour to sew!
Sneaky huh?
