Use the timer with one purpose in view.

Writing becomes easier to start when the goal is to stay with the draft for a defined block instead of producing perfect work immediately. Choose one writing objective, set an interval, and keep moving until the timer ends. Use the checkpoint to review progress, continue the same section, or switch deliberately into editing.
