How often do you find yourself either keeping to that seven minute limit or going past it? Also, do you flip it over at the end if you go past the seven minutes? How do you decide when to start it?
I don't flip it over. Usually I'll go beyond the timer for some period of time because once I get some momentum on a task, I'll want to finish it up. I also use it to timebox activities that can consume the entire day. For example, if my office starts getting messy I may decide I want to spend 7 minutes a day just straightening things and organizing. In that situation, it becomes more of a notification of when to stop and get back to other work.
