What a 3 minute timer is good for

Minute-length countdowns cover most of everyday timing: cooking steps, breaks, workouts, study blocks, and anything where you want to commit to a fixed stretch of time and stop thinking about the clock. Start it, leave the tab open, and the alarm will tell you when the time is up.
