Tech Tip: Google Timer

I chose to try out this google timer because I always find myself getting distracted when doing homework on my laptop. This has been very difficult while being in 2 classes that require a semester-long research paper. I always end up somewhere I am not supposed to be like Facebook or Pinterest. 

I am going to pause and use the google timer right now to go and write my story for the week to see if I like the idea and if it helps me stay on task. I am setting the time for 30 minutes, then will take a 10 minute break, and set it for 30 minutes again.

After doing this, I feel as though I saved SO much time. I promised myself not to stray from the pages I was using for school work and, although hard, it worked. I feel as though having a set amount of time really helps me tackle whatever task I need. I will say that I know this will take A LOT of self control to implement on a daily basis, but I am going to give it a shot and see how it goes!
