Hack for time blindness! I bought a couple cube timers on Amazon. You just turn it on the side start the timer and flip it face up to turn it off! No getting distracted on my phone when I’m trying to set a timer!

love these!

This is fantastic. That it's interactive in the sense that you have to flip the cube is a nice bonus.

Ooo, I love this idea!! How do these cube timers work?

This is smart and I hadn't even thought about how distracted I get trying to do something on my phone... LOL

I always get distracted by my phone

So smart! My phone is a temptation too.

That is a great hack.  Using my phone timer is definitely a dangerous thing for me.
