Beyond Pomodoro: use Maclock for meeting & presentation countdowns (and keep the rhythm)
Timing doesn’t have to feel like pressure. A visible countdown can be a gentle boundary that helps everyone wrap up cleanly.

Countdowns aren’t pressure — they’re predictability
Meetings drift when rhythm disappears: one person talks long, others wait, and the ending gets rushed.
A countdown works best when it’s shared and calm. Put it on the desk, keep it visible, and let it quietly guide the pace.

Three small tips for friendlier timing
- Use it as a gentle signal: it’s not “hurry up”, it’s “save room for the ending”.
- Place it in your peripheral vision: fewer window switches, less mental clutter.
- Leave a 1–2 minute buffer: Q&A and interruptions won’t break the whole session.
