1. Choose a task (chore or homework assignment)
2. Decide how long it should take you to do if you’re focused and on task (no fooling aroun
3. Decide what you want to earn for every minute you beat the timer (how many minutes are left) when you’re done with the task
4. Get all the materials together to finish your task
5. Set the timer; push the start button and go!
6. Make sure you’re not rushing so much that your work is a sloppy mess! This will make you redo your work and lose time.
7. When you’re done, stop the timer.  Write down how many minutes are left on the timer.  Suppose the timer says 7 minutes.  That's how much free time you have earned!

For homework tasks: Check over your work and put it in your “Take Home” folder.
