Alarm clock phasetimer with downloadable graphic

Here’s my latest graphic in the alarmclock I got on special for about $12. I added hours around the purple circle in case the clock is also wanted for use as a chronometer!

It only takes unscrewing the legs of this model and you can replace the face with a printed one as I did… I printed it on 250 gsm plain card , colour inkjet. Here’s the jpeg I printed it from in photoshop, using the print to a custom size option. in this case 105 mm. I used a leather punch to make the central hole – nice and neat. Use this, free, to make your own phasetimer!

It makes sense – a desk phasetimer

~ Wizard of Eutopia ~ Leave a comment

I’m planning a new book – always a complex project! I want to use all I know to do this one efficiently – all the phases every hour, so the work is balanced. A little phasetimer clock right beside me makes more sense than a big one on the wall or set into the desk. Introducing the phasetimer alarm clock! Prototype $13 from Briscoes on special – nice quiet one with sweep motion second hand. Printed to size, inkjet on 250 gsm card, the original clock face pulled off the contact tape, phasetimer cut out and stuck on. Reassembled, and now ready to time my creative hours…

It goes with a new wall planner I’ve built with iron oxide paint on surface so I can stick movable pieces of magnetic sheet onto it, building up a whole book structure… this is the ‘flow rainbow’ revisited – see this post in my http://www.flowrainbow.wordpress.com:  A Magnetic Book Planner

Phasetimer revised for beauty & clarity

Just when I thought it was safe to say ‘done!’ I suddenly thought: the bands should be reversed so the smaller divisions go to the outside, like on a ‘normal’ clock… Like this:

I also refined the wording around the perimeter – hopefully a clear quick reference for the meaning of each phase…  Like it?? 🙂  Download image and use if you want… Instruction manuals to come! Oh, and the card:

Phasetimers with two levels – free graphic within!

This is my latest (04 10 15 ) Phasetimer prototype (white frame because shop had no black), with an inner band for timing shorter cycles of four phases – fifteen minutes to go through a cycle, or 3.75 minutes per phase. This is for quick processing a question – also can be used to go through four cycles in an hour…iterations are of course all part of process and evolution.

For the ‘early adopters, should there be any here (you know who you are!) here is a free jpeg of the timer face, for printing out (on say 200gsm card) and glue-sticking to the face of a wall clock of your choice, so you can experiment with the timed 4phase method… The text around the edge gives you the basic idea of what you do in each phase. Alway start with phase 1 – though you can decide to be in a certain phase overall, then go through the cycle within that phase – ( as this two-level layout portrays, process is fractal). All I ask is, email me with ANY feedback you like (peter@eutopia.co.nz)… Thanks, and enjoy the process! And click ‘follow’  on this blog so you get updates on the method and also the tools and literature… (Note 06 10 15: I changed the order of the layers – I think it looks better… I’ve added latest picture below this one:
