Multi-Timer Gizmo

nu My friend, Dave Gauer, built a “multitimer” back in 2021. It is a small desktop gizmo for keeping track of time spent on rapidly switching tasks.

It was full of tools, clocks in various states of repair, and a magical aroma: machine oil, old wood, and love. I drilled three one hole in the body of the clock, routed the power supply through the switch, and closed it back up. Because of their analog displays, I think that these timers would be good for gross estimates, e.g. “This week, I spent three and a half hours writing homework solutions.” They won’t be good for very fine grained things like “I spent seven minutes stretching.” I don’t do especially much time tracking except for writing sessions.
