Tools

These tools when used consistently will help you grow awareness and help hold yourself accountable. 

Time Timer

An item that sits on my desk and is used daily. Whether it is to help me start a project, "Okay, I will just do 5 minutes," or "I only have 45 minutes for this meeting."

A tool that can be used for screen time, homework, playtime, and reading time. 

This can be used as a tool for torture if not used properly.
