It lasts for 50 minutes so I can time my sessions with clients. Came all the way from Spain (I’m in the US). Super excited to start using it tomorrow.

This is super cool, thanks for sharing. You've reminded me that I wanted to make or buy an hourglass — visual timers are useful if you have ADHD like me

I have ADHD too! I have a little timer that’s very visual, and it really helps.

Ooh she's pretty!

This is a brilliant idea! It's stylish, gorgeous and simple. Numbers and timing things can cause stress, but this is a stress free way of time managing things

If it's only 50 minutes, is it really an hourglass?

Well now that's not a fucking hourglass now, is it?

What kind of hourglass only lasts 50 minutes?

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

The kind I need! It’s actually surprising how many of 50-min hourglasses are out there. I thought it would take forever to find one, but they are common for people whose sessions last 50 mins.

A lazy one ;)

A sophisticated one that suits individual needs

That's a really lovely bit of zebra wood.

What do you plan to use it for? It’s beautiful.

I am putting it in my office so that clients can see how much time is left in their session. I have a regular clock too, so this is more for aesthetics.
