Any reason this wouldn't work for an adult working on time management?

The lowest amount of time you can set it for is five minutes, so as long as your tasks are five minutes or more I don't see why not!

It would work. I like this timer because it is visible and gives the kids warnings via sound and light. It is small and light and colorful. I purchased this because the free online timers do not work with the power point presentations I have on my board, so I needed another way to time the class so we finish the lesson. When i bought it, I did not have an ipad, but that is also another option- you can download a free timer (some of them are pretty cool) on your ipad or use your cellphone. I was limited with the options that I had in the classroom. I do like this product, and it does its job. It would work.

I don't see why not. The colors would be a good visual cue to help keep on task. It keeps my three year old boy on task for whatever I'm asking of him, so it should definitely work for an adult.

No - I actually have ADD and have found that it's helped me as well - especially while cleaning. I sometimes (let's be honest...MANY TIMES) have a difficult time getting motivated to clean, so 'll set the timer for like 20 minutes and will try to clean as fast as I can. It gives me a 5 minute warning before my time is up. It's been a nice timer for our entire family.

Thanks, A. Gray. I decided to contact customer service, too. I really wanted a printable reference for the times. Much to my surprise, they sent me an email with a spreadsheet table, listing all the times. And they responded in less than four hours. Incredible. I have to wonder, as do you, why the times aren't included in this manual. In looking back through their previous models' manuals (available online) I see the times listed in most all the ones I looked through. This seems like an oversight on their part. Perhaps it will be corrected with the next printing.

It may be my fault for not reading the instructions but in general I am good with technical things and the timer is extremely confusing to figure out... but I never tried the alarm clock... Good luck

I didn't see that model in the list, but the operation of the timer is so basic and general, and it there are so many models it does work with, basically all of them, I can't imagine it not working. There are GH forums out there where you could probably confirm or deny my assumption.

Read the instructions CAREFULLY. If you have the current time set properly, you can start at "To Program the Timer". I believe if you take the time to work through that carefully one step at a time. you'll be in business. This timer has a LOT of capabilities for settings, and it is easy to miss a critical step if you're only trying for one on/off cycle per day, at the same time every day. That was, however, all I wanted to do, and by wading through carefully everything is working fine for me.

Yea it would work perfectly if you want it to reset every 30. You can do it manually too if you need to reset before 30 is up. Just hit the reset button. This is by far my favorite item I have ever bought as a PE teacher.

I think it might. I believe it says not to use this for more than 1 hour a day. Mine is next to my computer. I turn it on and set the timer when I know I will be near my computer for a length of time. It is a small box about 6" x 6". It has an easel back. Hope this helps.

well, adults could learn from it, if they have no basic understanding of multi-step processes.. but no. it's really not aimed at adults or even teenagers.. it is definitely more for the under 10 set... and playing by yourself would just be silly.. as really each player is only playing against themselves anyway..

No, not hours for individual days. But you can put different blocks for individual days. It works out well for me because I usually allow the same amount per day, but block when they should do other things. You can go in daily and reset the hours for that day.

I would agree that an older person could use it - I am an older person who takes medication every 3 hours, and I find this alarm helpful. I agree that you have to have the dexterity to be able to grip the device and twist to open the compartments, so if that is a problem for you, this would not be a good choice. Just hold it with the pill side up as you twist and you should have no problem with the pills falling out.

I couldn't get it to work.The light would come on but the buttons would not set the clock.I didn't thinkit was worth the trouble return it so I threw it in the trash. I had got this for my sister who cant remember the day and date(senile--old age)I bought a desk calendar /clock that works just fine for her.Got it from walmart. sorryi couldn't be any help to you.

I'm no expert about this, but I purchased it for my daughter who is nearly nine and she isn't really strong enough for it. I would say, yes, an adult could use it.

No. I thought I could set up length of time and time. It has a preset tabada of 20 work 10 rest.

I don't think anyone really uses the hours of service feature. It's a nice thought, but it can't be substituted for a paper log or an elog. All it would really do is make double work or you, having to keep track of the same thing in two different places.

It can be used by adults....I just don't think it's a very good product. I might not have the "touch" to make it work properly.

My parent use it. They are not 5-11 (5-2) so it might be a bit small for him, but it would work.....nice and compact for a college room. Hope that helped!! It's not a kids' desk...it's meant for grown-ups!

We had adults do it and it was fine - maybe lock 2 together so they are bigger? good luck!
