Everyday we receive a priceless gift – 1440 minutes! We could spend it on important and fun activities, meeting with friends and relatives or staying on our own, working or playing… But sometimes we forget about how precious this gift is.
The supply of time is truly a daily miracle. You wake up in the morning and lo! your purse is magically filled with 24 hours of the unmanufactured tissue of the universe of your life! It is yours.
How To Live On 24 Hours A Day by Arnold Bennett
You cannot draw on the future. Impossible to get into debt! You can only waste the passing moment. You cannot waste tomorrow, it is kept from you.
You have to live on this 24 hours of time. Out of it you have to spin health, pleasure, money, content, respect and the evolution of your immortal soul. It’s right use…is a matter of the highest urgency.
Main function and idea of the app – countdown timer with notifications
PRACTICAL ADVICE
The most obvious way to use this app is to set a 1 or 5 minutes notification when you decide to waste some time watching Youtube, surfing Internet without any particular goal, updating social networks and so on. Most of the times, it is hard to pay attention how much time you are spending on these activities (and these companies hire the most intelligent people to prevent you from leaving these sites by hacking our brains). 1440 notifications will help you to be more mindful and bring you back.
Even when you are using your time productively, it is a good idea to have an estimation of time. Sometimes you stack in a problem, which could be easily solved after a small break. Sometimes you are so caught in one activity, that you forget to switch to another. Less frequent notifications from 1440 app will help you in these cases.
Some will find an additional source of motivation in knowing, how much (or less) minutes they left for today. When you have just 200 minutes left today, why not invest them in something you care for?
You could use 1440 to help you to refocus:
Set your watch, phone, or computer to ring every hour and start the work that’s listed on your calendar. When you hear the beep, take a deep breath and ask yourself if you spent your last hour productively. Then look at your calendar and deliberately recommit to how you are going to use the next hour. Manage your day hour by hour. Don’t let the hours manage you.
