22 Minutes


My friend Mullins is always looking for a better way to be more productive. His latest technique involves the pictured Polder timer. He sets the timer to sound off every twenty-two minutes. After each twenty-two minute interval, he does something different. So he might he might do push-ups and sit-ups of twenty-two minutes, then clean the house for twenty-two minutes, then work on writing haikus for twenty-two minutes, then watch a thirty minute TV show, which you can do in twenty-two minutes using Tivo. In his first few weeks using this technique, Mullins is claiming to have become ultra productive.
The Polder timer Mullins uses is interesting because it can alert you in three ways: beeping alarm, vibration, or with a flashing pink light.

    Madonna is currently making a big push for 4 minutes. She seems to have Justin Timberlake in her corner as well....
