Quiet timer fair works

I like the short timer idea too, especially when the goal is tiny and visible: clear one counter, reset one drawer, or put all cables back to one home. For me, 5 minutes is the sweet spot: quick enough to start, short enough to stop without guilt.
If the task turns out bigger than expected, I keep the same timer and only do the first step, then choose whether to extend it or leave it for later.
