Tried a wind-up kitchen timer for my afternoon chores and actually finished more

I grabbed a $7 mechanical timer at a yard sale in Boise and set it for 25 minutes per chore, and I got through dishes, sweeping, and laundry without touching my phone once. It made me realize the timer on my phone was half the problem, has anyone else swapped in a wind-up one of these?
