TenPlusTwo

by David Greenspan

Can't stop procrastinating? Force yourself to work for 10 minutes, then force yourself to take a 2 minute break. Repeat.

Leave this countdown timer running, and it changes colors and plays sounds to indicate what you should be doing.

Inspired by the 43folders.com (10+2)*5 Procrastination Hack.

    I figured out a way to change the sounds easily:

    - rename tenplustwo.widget to tenplustwo.zip
    - unzip
    - replace the files breakstart.wav and workstart.wav with files of your choice (but name them the same)
    - zip the whole thing back up
    - rename to tenplustwo.widget and install

    Presto! Custom sounds.

    Useful but the sounds are boring

    This is nicely helpful for getting things done. However, the sounds are the same as the USB plugged in / unplugged sounds, and are confusing because of that. It sounds like a memory stick getting plugged in.

    This would be way better if I could customize the sounds and make them more noticeable.

    This is a great widget. I like how you can change the 10 and 2 minute intervals to have more or less time. Its small size is also helpful, making you able to move it out of the way when working one something, yet still be able to keep an eye on it. However, I think this could benefit from a pause button, and (like the previous poster said) customizable or at least selectable changing sounds. Otherwise, this is a great widget.

    I like the simplicity of how you start the timer and move from 10 to 2 minute intervals.
    The size is good,however I need it to flash when the time is up so that I notice it down in the corner. I would also like to have the ability to play a sound file of my choice as the timer alarm. If that is not possible, then have a selection of 3 or 4 timer alerts (gong, buzz, siren, etc.).
