About this timer
Why timers help with ADHD
ADHD is often characterised by time blindness — difficulty perceiving how much time has passed or remains. A visible, running timer externalises time, making it concrete and trackable. Short, defined sessions also work with ADHD's natural attention patterns rather than against them. The goal is not to force sustained attention for hours — it is to create a clear, bounded period where the brain knows exactly what it is supposed to be doing. The single-task mission field in BERGAX removes decision fatigue before the session begins, which is a significant barrier for ADHD.
Common questions
Why use a timer for ADHD?
Timers make time visible. ADHD brains often struggle with time perception, leading to hyperfocus or complete derailment. A timer creates an external structure that doesn't rely on internal time sense.
Is 25 or 45 minutes better for ADHD?
Start with 25 minutes. If that feels too long, try 15. The right duration is the one you can actually complete without abandoning. Build up gradually as focus endurance improves.
Should I take breaks between sessions?
Yes — breaks are not optional for ADHD. Short breaks (5 minutes) between sessions prevent the mental exhaustion that leads to shutdown. BERGAX's break mode handles this automatically.
What should I do if I lose focus mid-session?
Don't abandon — pause instead. Note what distracted you, set it aside, and resume. Completing sessions, even imperfectly, builds the habit more than abandoning and restarting.
