Fantastic invention to help academic success for the struggling student. My son quickly flips the Time Cube and studies for 25 min. Then flips the cube and takes a 5 min. Brain Break and reward from studying. (Either reading a fun book, flipping thru a comic book, going to get a drink, taking a quick exercise break, 5 minute of shooting hoops, 5 min of ping pong, or just taking a fresh air break outside.)

A regular digital timer is a recipe for distraction. Do you know How Long it takes a child/teen to set a digital time to 25 minutes?

Click, Click, Click... "22, 23, 24, 25, 26". "Oops! Oh No!" <Clear> and "Start over... 1, 2, 3..."

That's enough for a desperate mother to pull her hair out and scream, again! And don't even think of letting a teen use a smart phone or iPad, for a "Timer". That's just Another opportunity for major distraction!

The Red color of the TimeCube is ideal to help the child locate the timer, in a jumbled up desk. And the Red color subtly indicates importance. I have gifted this timer to my aging father. Also an ADHDer, who struggles with starting and completing projects. I have repeatedly given away my own Red TimeCube to another desperate parent. And I've had to come back to Amazon to order a replacement. (I really just need to bulk order these timers.)

Last week I handed by sister the TimeCube to take back to Europe with her. Her daughter was recently diagnosed with ADHD and really struggling in school. Here you go! A Red ticket to success!

Today I really needed to clean up my house from a weekend of 12 visitors. I was dreading the ordeal... So I grabbed the Red TimeCube, flipped it quickly to 25 min. & began tidying up. I happily took a 5 min brain break - quickly checking some text messages for 5 min. Then flipped it back to 25 min of work time. A very productive way to wade through a dreaded project. We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Red TimeCubes.

(I paid full price for each of these timers. No discount was given for this review. I just really, really, really Love these timers!)

My goal was to use this device to remind me to get up from my keyboard every once in a while. This is a good practice! The device works fine for this purpose, but now I need a reminder to reset the timer.

Only just started using but am an old hand at pomodoro technique. I do like this and mine functions just fine. Unlike some other unfortunate reviewers. I'm ducking one star because of the blinking red light. It is very distracting to me. Black tape didn't really do it. So I decided to put it back in its original box and use that to "shield" my eyes. I marked the times on the outside of the box so it's still just a matter of flipping it to proper setting. Not an attractive solution but an effective one.

Does just one thing very well - lets you know when your selected time (5, 10, 20, 25 minutes) starts and stops. It keeps on beeping until you turn the blank side up. Simple, no fuss.

Sheer genius. I have no idea how it works, but it works perfectly. I use it when I'm doing Pomodoros for work 25 minutes working followed by five minutes of anything else. Love this timer - I don't know where it's been all my life!

It does exactly what it says. I have ADHD and it’s very helpful for me. I plan on using a second one for my daughter during the school year when she is doing it all online.

Pretty cool cube. Does what it advertises. I was going to use this at work but I realized that the beeping would probably be annoying. It's sitting at home and is occasionally used. I got a vibrating one for work and love it. This cube is great; if it had a vibrating function I would give it 5 stars.

Worked great for 6 months. Love the simplicity.

But it started malfunctioning by randomly resetting the timer mid countdown. I changed the battery, but same issue.

Trabajo muy bien dedicando un tiempo fijo a lo que quiero hacer. Giro el cubo y me olvido de todo lo demás hasta que suena. Hay suficientes tiempos como para empezar y a menudo completar tareas no muy complicadas. Antídoto contra la pereza pensar "dedicaré solo X minutos a esto".

ポモドーロテクニックに最適です。ゼンマイ式のトマト型タイマーも持っていますが、最近ではこちらがメインタイマーになりました。

何回か置き直さないと動かないです。ハズレでしょうか。

設定不要ですぐタイマーがセットできて便利だが、値段の割に安っぽい

C’est le deuxième cube que j’achéte...avec bien sûr un minutage différent, ce qui pourrait me dispenser de toute éloge supplémentaire

Pratique, pas de manipulation compliquée et un bip puissant qui permet de l’entendre aisément si on a quitté sa cuisine...

Fini les minuteurs que l’on tourne dans tous les sens, vous ne pouvez pas être déçu par celui ci .
