I am much more productive when using a countdown timer because it gives me a sense of urgency to complete my current task before time is up. When I get distracted, I see/hear the timer ticking and redirect my focus back to where it should be.
I currently use a Mac app from the App Store along with stickies to accomplish an event countdown timer but would like to see this included as part of ClickUp. It would be a plus if this timer could also be a separate app that shows on top of all windows when my calendar is hidden. Playing ticking sounds or productive soundtracks like those found on brain.fm would also be very beneficial.
