# Competing Priorities? Distracted?

##  Start being more intentional, and start seeing results.

# Introducing the Flow TimeBox: a smart timer that helps you think multi-dimensionally about time.

Designed by Boston physician Dr. Narath Carlile to support his own focus and thriving, the TimeBox is a hand-built tactile device with 4 timer-rows to manage your four most common 'buckets' of time. 

- Assign the 4 rows as you wish (e.g. Priority Work, Research, Chores, etc) and see data visualizations of your time usage
- Each row has 4 timers (5, 10, 25 and 45 minutes)
- Non-intrusive silent timers use flashing light, not loud sounds 
- Connects via wifi to the Flow App so you can track progress
- Wireless, but comes with USB-C charging cord
- Includes video learning course on how to use time, planning, flow and mindful productivity to flourish in life.

### "I went from being skeptical of 'yet another system' to being a strong believer in this MakeTimeFlow approach. The impact on my well being and my professional productivity has been enormous.

 

I used time-blocking and a hodgepodge of other methods before, but I never had the diligence to stick with them. MakeTimeFlow put me over the edge and finally got me into a rhythm of managing my time thoughtfully and well. 

I could feel the change not just in my productivity, but even at the bodily level, with less frantic running around, less stress, etc. 

MakeTimeFlow is NOT a 'system' or a gimmick. It is a method for taking all the best elements from all the other various systems, using rigorous science to gauge what actually has value, and then putting together a FRAMEWORK for diligently applying them to your day-to-day. 

The most important part of MakeTimeFlow, for me, are the physical objects -- the timer, and the notebook. To have something physical on the desk, that you can carry around with you, is key.

 

This is a system that respects your intelligence and, I'm sure, will change in time as new and better research is incorporated into the framework. 

I went from being skeptical of 'yet another system' to being a strong believer in this MakeTimeFlow approach. 

The impact on my well being and my professional productivity has been enormous. 

I will never go back to my old way of doing things."
