As a Software Developer, I lose track of time all the time. You get in flow, forget the time, and that's that. Oftentimes, you get stuck and follow a lead that leads nowhere - a rabbit hole, falling behind on other work you haven't started. I always struggled with conventional timers because they are loud and needy - you need to manually restart it every time... pull your phone out of you pocket and get distracted. This is too much work. I built Time Intervals as a simple tool to "ping me" every once in a while as a gentle reminder... "Hey, 30 minutes have passed... do you wanna keep working on it or move on?". With a gentle vibration and an auto-restart, you don't need to do anything. It will ring again after the next interval, helping you stay "un-stuck".

I've been looking for a better way to do my work out. I'm hoping this helps. What I really want is a consistent way to do my breaks without constantly restarting my timer app. The one thing I think maybe will not work as well for me is that I'm not consistent with the actual portion where I'm doing my lifting.

@dan_mceleney1 that's exactly what I built the app for. Set a timer just before you start the exercise, and make a commitment to start lifting every time it pings. You've got the tool. The rest is your discipline.

I've actually been using Time Intervals for a few days now, and it has helped me concentrate a lot. A goldfish has a better attention span than me, so having a little buzz in my pocket every few minutes made me finish tasks faster and more efficiently.

This is cool! Now I'll know exactly how much time I'm spending trying to figure out what causes TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined. And I'll know when I'm way too deep in a debugging rabbit hole to make any real progress, so I should step away from my laptop for a bit.
