Thanks for sharing your experiences, Laura. I have found this technique works very well for a myriad of activities, but I especially like it for writing.

Wow! Little did I know that the technique I used when writing my dissertation actually had a name! The power of 48 minutes is exactly what I did. I would type the dissertation for 45 minutes and then crosstitch for the 15 minutes remaining (as well as get up and stretch). Doing this consistently enabled me to work 12-14 hours straight on the dissertation, and I also finished a few small crosstitch projects too! I think I'll go back to this concept!
To your success,
Dr. Laura

Instead of a physical timer, I use TimeBoxed (Mac OS X only).
Great UI, subtle/unobtrusive yet very efficient.
