Time Timer tricks for tracking activities within your workshop

The Time Timer visually reports time remaining

Been using and getting used to my Time Timer to help me manage the overall pace of workshops. Usually, when I'm running a workshops and look at the clock, I have to do some mental math to figure out how much time I have left.

With a Time Timer and other similar clocks, you can see, visually, how much time is left.

This makes it easier to manage the overall pace of the workshop, and most importantly, ensure you end on time with a concrete outcome. It's harder to run out of time when you can clearly see how much time you have left.

Managing transitions between activities

My Time Timer with flags marking when I should transition from one activity to another

In my last workshop, I added sticky note flags at key times to show when I needed to transition from one activity to another.

This worked really well. Usually, I hit my workshop end time, but things move around more in the middle of the workshop.

With this method, I was able to hit my mark for each of my transition times, as well as nailing the end time.

Seeing the markers really made it easy to manage time within activities.

You can purchase one of these clocks from the Time Timer website or find similar clocks at Amazon.
