There\u2019s almost nothing they can\u2019t do these days, except probably keep us from being distracted by them. While there is indeed almost an <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a> for everything, the devices present a never-ending stream of temptations and distractions that keep us from doing what we really need to do. Starting a timer to keep track of our time, for example, might turn into an hour-long journey into the deepest recesses of <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social media<\/a> and the Internet.<\/p>\n<p>Why would you use your phone instead of a proper timer in the first place? Maybe you don\u2019t have such a time-keeping device at hand, or maybe you need some integration with a time-logging app on your phone. Fortunately, you don\u2019t have to lose on some of the benefits of a phone-connected timer with his gadget concept that does keep time but, at the same time, lets you keep your phone as far away as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Designers: <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/edoardogouffran\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Eduardo Gouffran<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/fanelli-andrea\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Andrea Fanelli<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/02\/hourglass-shaped-device-concept-wants-to-help-save-your-fingers-from-doomscrolling\/meti-hourglass-device-concept-12.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-532526\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/02\/03\/hourglass-shaped-device-concept-wants-to-help-save-your-fingers-from-doomscrolling\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Hourglass-shaped device concept wants to help save your fingers from doomscrolling\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/02\/hourglass-shaped-device-concept-wants-to-help-save-your-fingers-from-doomscrolling\/meti-hourglass-device-concept-12.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/02\/hourglass-shaped-device-concept-wants-to-help-save-your-fingers-from-doomscrolling\/meti-hourglass-device-concept-01.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-532527\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/02\/03\/hourglass-shaped-device-concept-wants-to-help-save-your-fingers-from-doomscrolling\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Hourglass-shaped device concept wants to help save your fingers from doomscrolling\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/02\/hourglass-shaped-device-concept-wants-to-help-save-your-fingers-from-doomscrolling\/meti-hourglass-device-concept-01.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/02\/hourglass-shaped-device-concept-wants-to-help-save-your-fingers-from-doomscrolling\/meti-hourglass-device-concept-01.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-532527\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/02\/03\/hourglass-shaped-device-concept-wants-to-help-save-your-fingers-from-doomscrolling\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Hourglass-shaped device concept wants to help save your fingers from doomscrolling\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/02\/hourglass-shaped-device-concept-wants-to-help-save-your-fingers-from-doomscrolling\/meti-hourglass-device-concept-01.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-1\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-7222236028814181\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" type=\"16e9e24f9d29d4ec9e2076dd-text\/javascript\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- In-Content-Ad-1 --><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"16e9e24f9d29d4ec9e2076dd-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>One of the most common tips given by productivity gurus for staying in focus is to simply block out 20 to 25 minutes of uninterrupted time to do some deep work.

In a way, it exploits that scrolling habit by associating the action with a different activity, swapping distraction with focus. The device also pairs with your phone, using a rather unusual but fun shaking motion, that lets you set different sessions from the phone. This also opens the door to gathering data and monitoring your use to learn just how focused or distracted you are.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/02\/hourglass-shaped-device-concept-wants-to-help-save-your-fingers-from-doomscrolling\/meti-hourglass-device-concept-11.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-532533\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/02\/03\/hourglass-shaped-device-concept-wants-to-help-save-your-fingers-from-doomscrolling\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Hourglass-shaped device concept wants to help save your fingers from doomscrolling\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/02\/hourglass-shaped-device-concept-wants-to-help-save-your-fingers-from-doomscrolling\/meti-hourglass-device-concept-11.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/02\/hourglass-shaped-device-concept-wants-to-help-save-your-fingers-from-doomscrolling\/meti-hourglass-device-concept-11.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-532533\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/02\/03\/hourglass-shaped-device-concept-wants-to-help-save-your-fingers-from-doomscrolling\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Hourglass-shaped device concept wants to help save your fingers from doomscrolling\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/02\/hourglass-shaped-device-concept-wants-to-help-save-your-fingers-from-doomscrolling\/meti-hourglass-device-concept-11.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/02\/hourglass-shaped-device-concept-wants-to-help-save-your-fingers-from-doomscrolling\/meti-hourglass-device-concept-10.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-532535\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/02\/03\/hourglass-shaped-device-concept-wants-to-help-save-your-fingers-from-doomscrolling\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Hourglass-shaped device concept wants to help save your fingers from doomscrolling\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/02\/hourglass-shaped-device-concept-wants-to-help-save-your-fingers-from-doomscrolling\/meti-hourglass-device-concept-10.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/02\/hourglass-shaped-device-concept-wants-to-help-save-your-fingers-from-doomscrolling\/meti-hourglass-device-concept-10.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-532535\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/02\/03\/hourglass-shaped-device-concept-wants-to-help-save-your-fingers-from-doomscrolling\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Hourglass-shaped device concept wants to help save your fingers from doomscrolling\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/02\/hourglass-shaped-device-concept-wants-to-help-save-your-fingers-from-doomscrolling\/meti-hourglass-device-concept-10.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>In the final analysis, the METI concept is pretty much a glorified physical timer, but one that doesn\u2019t completely throw away its digital ties. It brings that familiar or at least iconic behavior of using an hourglass to keep time, while still leaving the door open for integration with apps and services. Its color options also convey a sense of fun and joy, implying that productivity and keeping track of your time shouldn\u2019t be such a boring chore after all.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\"
