Make time for yourself
A minute is short enough that almost anything feels possible. That is the point. Use it to reset between tasks, to test yourself, or to break the stillness before something bigger.
Breathe: sit back, breathe in slowly, breathe out a little more slowly, and let the countdown hold the time so you do not have to. Move: hold a plank, roll your shoulders, or stand and walk to the window. Start: open the document you have been avoiding and work on it until the timer ends. Often one minute is enough to make the next one easier.
