Time management techniques like the Pomodoro Technique can be beneficial in these situations. This has been exasperated as more and more companies switch to remote work because it is challenging to manage our time without a daily routine. Finally, it might not be the right tool for what you need.We often struggle to be productive and keep motivated especially when we have a ton of tasks to accomplish, leading us to experience burnout and mental fatigue. Moreover, unlike its first iteration, the TickTime Cube doesn't offer a distraction-free mode with the display turned off or turned down.
Like its predecessor, this product will launch with a Kickstarter. The downsides of the TickTime Cube are similar to those of the original TickTime: its 25 hours of battery life won't get you through an entire work week without recharging, you can't replace the battery once it wears out, and it won't be cheaper. What's great about the TickTime Cube is that it's optionally silent, and tracking time doesn't require checking a smartphone app, which could mean getting distracted by notifications. I appreciate the Pomodoro mode, the fact that it comes with a USB-C charging port, the improved battery life, and the magnet on its backside that lets us mount the timer to our whiteboard, fridge, or exhaust hood. The TickTime Cube is a neat little device for when all you need is a versatile single task timer. In my experience, the timer won't remember where you left off when you turn it back on.

Avoid accidentally touching the top-facing fingerprint icon while you're in the middle of a session, as that will reset the countdown.Once you get the hang of it, however, you'll be setting countdown timers with ease. Since it features a gyro, every tilt has consequences. Handling the timer takes a bit of practice. Note that when you do the latter after pausing, it'll switch to manual mode and lose your previous countdown. To pause the timer, you can either press the pause/power button or tilt it to make the main display face up.It will do so for a maximum of four rounds, and you can see the current round number at the top of the display. In this setting, it will count down from 25 minutes, then count down a 5-minute break, and start a new 30-minute Pomodoro session. The 25-minute interval automatically launches the TickTime Cube's Pomodoro mode you'll notice the tiny red tomato at the center of the main display.Press the pause/power button or bring the display up to stop the notification.

At the end of a countdown period, the remaining time (i.e.25 on the side saying 5, by long-pressing the fingerprint icon. You can switch to the larger number printed on the respective side, e.g.three times to get from 10 to 30 minutes. 30 instead of 10 minutes, by tapping the fingerprint icon to multiply the default preset, i.e. You can count down from multiples of the default preset time, e.g.The display will rotate, so that you can easily read the current countdown, regardless of which side the cube is on.
So when the side saying 3 (15) faces up, the TickTime Cube will count down from 3 minutes.
