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.
"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."
Life proceeds from your intentions. Stay focused.

"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.
