This Time Boxing has many advantages:

• Time Boxing encourages you to frequently think about what's important.
• Time Boxing prevents you from thoughtlessly spending all day on one task. Instead of being a perfectionist, endlessly tweaking, never finishing, you can decide if your job is good enough after just 30 minutes. (If not, you could later decide to spend another 30 minutes. Time Boxing is not about working faster per se, but about giving you frequent chances to decide.)
• Time Boxing breaks large or unpleasant tasks into small unthreatening chunks, reducing procrastination.
• Time Boxing lets you get things done during little breaks between appointments, breaks you might otherwize waste in chit chat, email, or daydreaming.
