Setting a timer and getting to work.

Let's say that you are baking a cake. Everything is done, the cake is in the over and you have to wait for 30 minutes. It is much easier to wait outside of the kitchen, browsing the web, reading a book or an article in a magazine. All you will need to do that is a countdown timer. You can use the one your mother used to use, a traditional kitchen timer, or something more up to date - a web based online timer. A web based tool is something that you can use while working on your computer. Using a timer is good for many reasons. Setting a timer generates an intention to start working (and the intension is the first step to making things happen). Once you started it is much easier to focus on your tasks if we know it is only for a limited and short period of time.Using a timer makes you more accustomed to a creative ritual, and will help you do the creative work on a regular basis.Setting a countdown timer will also bring a certain excitement to the whole process. You will make your work more thrilling knowing that you are racing against time and you have to do all that you can to win this race and finish on time. That is something that can not be done without a good old timer. Otherwise you will just fall into the trap of procrastination. Let's say you are trying to come up with a name for your business (and you are doing it with conventional techniques not with a name generator). You can stretch the process in time and wait days for results or limit the time and produce a guaranteed amount of times within that timespan. It is all up to you.
