If you have trouble with your honey-do list then you need to add this device to your game plan. Make it simple. Tell the wife that you will do two chores a day as long as they are limited by a timer. The bonus is that your timer can empty that sand in about 3 seconds. If that seems like a bit much then just cut it down to one timed chore per day.
