3-in-1 Visual ADHD Timer for Kids & Adults with Planning Board, Task Timer, Chore Chart & Visual Schedule Planner, Autism & ADHD Tools with Checklist for Classroom, Homeschool Supplies, Home, School

A must to help keep kids focused!!
A game-changer for my 9 year old on the autism spectrum. It helps him stay focused while getting ready for school in the morning. Without this device he tends to get stuck on a step and not move forward with his morning routine. We LOVE the built-in timer with sound or light alarm option!Only reason I didn’t give this item 5 stars is because there is only one removable plastic list card. It would be super helpful to have a few cards to swap out for frequently used routines, such as morning, getting home from school, and going to bed routines.

As described
Helping us as family to establish and keep routines. Helping teach son, time management.

Works well, loud
Works well, beeping is loud and high pitched and sometimes takes 6 tries to make it stop. Flashing light option does not work for me.

Muy bueno
Muy util

Would rate 4.5 stars if possible. Great product, very well made with a nice retro look. I am a full-time working adult that simply finds this a great way to be more productive with my mornings and evenings, as well as more substantial tasks on the weekends. Of course you could use a simple kitchen timer, or your phone to set time blocks for various activities or tasks, but the analogue nature of this product and the built in whiteboard for lists, makes it more efficient and easier to use. It is also very satisfying to slide the buttons over, visually indicating you have completed a task on your list.My only (mild) criticisms are:The alarm – it is way too loud, and the flashing light option isn’t really useful for me as it’s hard to notice, especially if you’re not sitting directly in front of it. You can rectify the situation with a piece of tape to cover the speaker holes on he back (muffling the sound), but different alarm options or a way to control the volume would be extremely helpful.The whiteboard – there is only one. It would be more suitable to have a few included or an option to buy several more. If you have several daily tasks or routines that don’t vary, it would save having to write them out over and over. My solution was to photocopy the board several times and use those for my routines that never change. The other model that has this option looks far too “busy” for me. I prefer this simplistic layout.The colour – personally, I love the orange and white! However, it seems to be the only colour available for this particular model and that may not be to everyone’s taste. I would have liked to see some different colour options as well, especially for the purpose of gifting. Not sure if you would buy this for the “goth” in your life…The marketing – this is mostly marketed towards parents with children who are deemed to have learning challenges, and while this may be a very helpful tool for them, I think the emphasis on this might deter others (ie all parents, or people who would like to increase their own productivity) from buying it. I happened to watch a youtube video where the creator gave a product review of this item in terms of their own productivity, and if it wasn’t for that, I likely wouldn’t have found this product or have been tempted to buy it solely based on the item’s description. It gives the impression there must be “something wrong with you” if you think this would be helpful in your life. Maybe that’s true (!!), but it certainly discourages you from making the purchase. I think any child or adult could find this useful as it’s so easy for anyone to lose track of time. You may not need it for the same things forever, but it helps build new routines and and habits. How often have you heard someone say that they don’t have time for exercise, or cooking from scratch or making art etc. They do have time; they just aren’t holding themselves accountable by increasing their productivity. This tool helps keep you accountable. Even if you only have 10 minutes each for a few tasks only: “do a little, do it often” and you’ll be surprised at how quickly you’ll see changes and results. People with “all or nothing” mindsets (like me) will find this helpful.

This is quite the interesting gadget. I got it for myself as I hate sound alarms, and this has a light option. I also happen to love to-do lists, so this is the best of both worlds, so I don’t have to use up a notebook page every time I need to organize my tasks. I use the timer to create focus sessions for work, and the list to create a list of the top daily to-dos. The list slides upwards and is easy to remove, write on, and replace. It’s easier to do that than write while the list is installed (in my opinion). The little switches aren’t too loose; they have just enough snap to be satisfying to “check off”. The timer itself seems accurate for time, and the little window below it shows current time. It’s easy to set with the buttons on the back of the device, but take a peek at the instructions to reduce frustrations.Notably, it’s important to not try to spin the timer knob counter-clockwise from the 0 mark – this may harm or break the system. There is a warning about it, but it’s important to reiterate. The timer itself is silent – there is no ticking. The little orange part just reduces in size until it hits 0. If you have the “light” option as the indicator, it’ll glow green while the timer is counting down, and blink red once the timer hits zero. There is a switch on the back to change from light to sound, but I do not use the sound option, as previously stated.The device is rechargeable, which is convenient, and it sits nicely on a flat surface. If your desk is a bit tilted, note that it may fall backwards (depending on how it is placed) as there is no back foot, just a wider base for it to balance on.
