What fits in one minute
One minute sounds short, but it is a common unit for practice. A spoken elevator pitch at a normal pace is about 130 to 160 words, so a one-minute timer is a good way to trim a self-introduction. For a plank, beginners often start with 20 to 30 seconds and build up to a full minute. The "one-minute rule" from productivity books says: if a task takes less than a minute, do it now instead of writing it down.
What a 1 minute timer is good for
- a plank or wall sit
- a one-minute speech drill
- brushing one side of your teeth
1 minutes is 60 seconds. If you start now, it ends at the time shown in the tab title.
How to use it
Press Start or the space bar. The bar fills as time passes and a soft chime plays at zero. Keep the tab open; the timer keeps time even if your screen dims.
