I use my timer a lot. I have a great little one that my friend Nicole gave me for the kids (it's supposed to help you time the 4 - 6 hours between medicine dosages) but I haven't used it for them once. Instead, I set it for 15 minutes and do my chores. It really makes a big difference.
These days, with Christmas creeping ever closer, I'm doing a lot of baking. I just love to bake things. I spend most of the year looking forward to having a reason to do the mixing and shaping and cooking that I get to do in these few precious weeks before the big day.
And what do you use a lot when baking cookies? A timer! So I recently (yesterday) decided that I could combine my two timed tasks. Every time I replace the cookie sheet in the oven, I have about 7 to 10 minutes to get a chore done. It's less time than I usually allow for things and I often have to go back to it once I've done the next cookie swap, but it makes the chores so much nicer to do, knowing that there is something fun to do every time that timer goes off.
