Inspired by the analog clock face, I designed hour markings as buttons for easy timer setting. This intuitive design lets users skip the tedious process of scrolling through numbers or setting alarms on a digital timer. When working on small tasks, exact minutes aren’t as important as having a general finish time, like “by 2:10.” This rough timing helps keep workflow smooth.
This approach is similar to the Pomodoro Technique, which is popular for focused work, learning, or cooking.
My goal with this intuitive design is to help people build productive habits.
By combining a simple timer with a small ritual of setting goals, users are introduced to self-discipline on each task and time management.
受到傳統指針時鐘的啟發，我將小時刻度設計成按鈕，方便快速設定計時器。這種直覺式的設計，讓使用者不用再費力滑動數字或像操作數位鬧鐘那樣一格一格地設定時間。
在處理多項小型任務和休息時，精準到分鐘往往沒有那麼重要，比起來，「大約在 2:10 前完成」這樣的概略終點更實用，也能讓工作流程維持順暢。
這樣的做法其實類似常用於專注工作、學習或烹飪的番茄工作法。
我希望透過這個直覺的設計，幫助人們養成有生產力的習慣。把簡單的計時器和設定目標這個小小儀式結合起來，讓使用者在每一件任務中，都能練習自我約束與時間管理。
