I know most folks here...

I know most folks here are probably hipster users, but if you have a Palm you will love a Freeware program called “PocketDoan”. It’s a wonderful little timer designed for meditation sessions but great for other things because it allows you construct complex “Sessions” made up of shorter segments. So you could construct a “tenmins” Session made up of segments with names like “Work on Phone Calls”. During that segment, those words would show on screen, with a pie-charty circle counting down and at the end of the segment a chime sound of your choice would ring, and the next ‘segment’ in the session would begin.

PocketDoan is available from www.freewarepalm.com http://www.freewarepalm.com/clock/pocketdoan.shtml
