Hourglass Sand Timer,Black Wooden 30/45/60 Minute Sandglass Timer for Home,Desktop,Classroom Kitchen Restaurant Office Living Room Decor (30 Min, White Sand)

In recent years I have wasted so much time on my iPhone that I've started to feel like a human smart phone. While I love my iPhone and will never give it up, I am looking for more analog, old school ways to handle daily activities including managing my time. I invested in a paper planner, and I got this hour glass. I LOVE IT! This hourglass is simple, classic and beautiful. It's about 5.5 inches tall, lightweight, and small enough to easily carry around the house. Because there's no buzzer alarm (like on an iPhone stopwatch), it trains me to be mindful and intentional about what I'm doing, so that I don't waste excessive amounts of time. I have to look at the hourglass to see roughly where I'm at. This helps me to be more responsible rather than using the phone as a crutch and then constantly picking up the iPhone, which can lead to doom scrolling and going down a social media rabbit hole. When I am having trouble getting motivated to do household chores, this hourglass helps. If I need to declutter a room, clean the bathroom or organize the pantry, I flip over the hourglass and get started and tell myself "it's only 30 minutes." When the sand runs out, I can quit knowing that I at least got something done, or I can flip the hourglass over again and do another 30 minutes. On the flip side, it is also helpful if I feel guilty about taking a time out to do something fun like reading when there are other things that seem higher priority. I'll allow myself 30 minutes for a reading break and I don't end up feeling cheated or resentful for not having taken a time out. I love this so much, I may get one just for the bedside table so that I don't stay up half the night scrolling on my phone. The accuracy on my 30-minute timer is pretty close, at 28 minutes and 24 seconds. Love this and am very happy with my purchase!

I got this hourglass and it looks great but I was just disappointed in the size with this hourglass. It's a lot smaller in size than what I expected.

I bought this mini sand clock as a birthday gift for a friend, and I was honestly blown away when I saw it in person! It looks even better than in the pictures—super elegant, well-made, and with a mesmerizing flow of sand. Watching the sand slowly trickle down is incredibly relaxing, almost like a mini meditation session. It’s the perfect little desk or shelf accessory, both functional and decorative. My friend loved it, and I might even get one for myself! If you’re looking for a unique and aesthetic gift, this is a great choice! Highly recommend.

Yes looks beautiful on my office desk and is service the purpose of reminding me to move

Classic piece, and a restful way to set a timer on my desk. I wish it were a bit smaller, it takes up a good bit of surface space. If you've got room for it, these clean lines are a nice touch.

A beautiful and delightful gift for people who work in counseling business

Great size for purpose

Vino muy pequeño pero es muy bonito
