The husband discusses setting timers for small tasks and how they help him stay motivated. He recommends setting timers for 25 minutes depending on the task, but the wife suggests trying the technique for organizing garage projects.

I've really found that breaking up work into small tasks and setting a timer for myself helps me stay motivated and get things done.

That sounds interesting, how do you decide how long to set the timer for?
human
It depends on the task, but I usually set it for around 25 minutes. It's called the Pomodoro Technique.
gpt
Hmm, maybe I should try that. I always get distracted and end up taking much longer to finish tasks.
human
You should! Plus, it feels good to see the progress you've made after completing each task.
gpt
Speaking of progress, remember when we redecorated the living room? You used the same technique and we finished so quickly.
human
Yes, breaking it up into smaller tasks helped us tackle the big project without feeling overwhelmed.
gpt
Maybe I should try it for organizing the garage. It's been on my to-do list forever.
human
Definitely. Sometimes it's all about taking that first small step to get started. You'll be surprised at how much you can accomplish.
