    I have one but, the battery is dead. I wear a watch but, very seldom look to see what time it is, just use to wearing one, so I do.

    I have clocks in every room and one by my sewing machine. I might forget to pick up DGD if it's not there.

    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 have a clock, but only because I'm trying to keep track of how long my current project is taking me. Normally I don't look at it, and only get up when I have to cook or do the dishes! :)

    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

    Oh yeah when I went to Germany we brought home a Blackforest Cuckoo clock and it is at the far end of the house. Love to listen to it once in a while but every hour? I think not. Just had to have one.

    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?

    I am in the process of designing a sewing room. I don't think I will put a clock in this room. It will be my private world! No interruptions allowed!
