Timer

[Guest guest]

An easy to use timer chip is a cd4047. A web search for 4047 will

get you a data sheet that shows how to make it an oscillator that can

run down to very low pulse rates and if you want an exact 50/50 duty

cycle then pins 10 and 11 provide complementary outputs that are both

50 %. If you want to get REAL slow then there is another chip that

can be used , I just don't remember it's number offhand but can get

it if anyone is interested. I used it for my croft timer and the

schematic is on the croft site.

Karma,

I visited the site but do not understand what you use it for exactly. In what

regard is it helpful? It looks interesting though.

I'm wondering how I might use it to keep me focused with at home business,

study time, exercise, etc. I get overwhelmed at times with, not so much the

multi-tasking of daily life itself, but remembering it all.

I would very much appreciate your input of how you make the timer work in your

life. It looks like a nifty little gadget.

Thanks.

Smiles & Hugs,

,

I worked from home for many years and still do have a home based business that

does very well for me. I have a corner in my house that is calendar central.

I have four children that are at that stage where it seems they are involved in

everything! They are required to keep their schedule on the calendar so I can

plan my life in advance. If I'm going to be expected to pick someone up from

practice or transport someone somewhere, I require advance notice. My kids are

great at getting their activities on the calendar. So, every morning I check

the day and what is going to be expected of me in the way of meetings,

transportation of children, etc. I take a 3 x 5 card and divide it into 3

sections Call, Do, Go

While I'm getting ready, I keep the card handy and when something comes to mind,

I put it in the correct section of the card to keep me focused. I keep it handy

on the drive to my office (20 minutes). When something comes to mind, again, on

the card it goes. That allows me to stay focused and let it go from my

" holding " memory.

When I get to the office, I plug stuff into my day and that is when the timer

comes into play.

I hope that helps.
