Have your Assistant keep you on the clock!

I definitely find myself getting distracted while I’m working—especially this time of year, when I’m starting my holiday shopping and getting ready for Thanksgiving at the same time.

But my Google Assistant timers help keep me on track. (It’s like the Pomodoro method, if you’ve heard of it—but with no additional app required!)

Just say “Hey Google, set a 20-minute work timer” and I focus during that time on the task at hand—like writing this newsletter 🙂

Pro Tip: It helps if you shut off your social media and email notifications during that time, so nothing pings up to distract you!
