Setting a fixed amount of time for each task, helps intensify focus and encourages working on one thing at a time.
Sometimes it helps to start with a small timer and build your way up - you can set timers as little as 1 min, or several hours...the choice is yours.
See the start and end time for each task on your list.
You'll also be able to see your total list time and estimated finishing time, to help you better plan your day.
If you're ever feeling overwhelmed, Llama Life takes that big scary task and magically breaks it into smaller, more manageable steps...
...and, suggests an estimated time for each step!
Sometimes seeing a long list of to-dos feels overwhelming, and it's hard to bring yourself to start.
Take the decision-making out of starting.
Llama Life picks a random task to help get you over that starting 'hump'. Who knows, it might even be a fun one!
Sometimes we need a reminder to bring our attention back to the task.
Llama Life can play a soft chime at an interval of your choosing.
For example, you can have a 30 min timer which plays an alarm at the end, but also have a chime play every 6 min within that.
Let's face it, a task list can often look a bit boring! Sometimes we need variety to keep things fun and interesting!
Colors? We got you covered... Rainbow Bliss, Ocean Mist...pick a palette to suit your mood.
Emoji? No prob-llama! Choose a theme or Llama Life can find an emoji to match your task!
Quickly set the duration of any timer by typing a number in the task title eg βCheck emails 15β will create a task βCheck emails', with a duration of 15 min.
Numerous keyboard shortcuts also included to make interacting with your list a breeze eg hit 'A' to create a task.
There may be times you're in flow, so may want to keep working after the timer ends.
When the timer hits 00:00, Llama Life starts counting the extra time spent, so all time is accounted for.
Llama Life is about working through what needs doing TODAY.
It complements tools like Todoist (places you might store a 'main' list of projects and to-dos) very well!
Import tasks from Todoist into Llama Life with just a few clicks.
Replace the unwanted noises around you with lovely background sounds.
Choose sounds from a beach, forest, thunderstorm, and wind.
'Silent/Visual' - no sound, flashes color when time is up.
'Nag Alarm' - plays sound when time is up, then reminds you every minute until you turn it off.
'Continuous' - plays sounds when time is up, then plays continuously until you turn it off.
Unlike other timers, Llama's pie timer shows 'remaining time' in an absolute sense.
This means a 10 min slice of time always looks the same, and will appear double the size of a 5 min slice.
The abstract concept of time now feels more concrete.
Llama Life will show you a simple report on the tasks you've completed and how much time they took.
