At 5 Minute Timer, our goal is simple: to help people start tasks easily and stay focused.
Many people struggle with procrastination and task paralysis, especially when a project feels too big or overwhelming.
This website was built to solve that problem by combining simple time intervals with proven cognitive science, helping your brain lower the friction of initiation and build sustainable momentum.
How It Works
The idea behind our timers is simple:
- Start with a short time (like 5 minutes)
- Focus on one task
- Build momentum gradually
This method is widely used by people who want to reduce procrastination and improve consistency in their daily work.

About the Founder
5 Minute Timer was created by Dwayne Dixon, a London-based productivity practitioner with over a decade of personal study and hands-on experience in time management, cognitive load balancing, and focus techniques.
Frustrated by complex productivity frameworks that often create more friction than they remove, Dwayne built this platform to focus on practical, science-backed methods.
Drawing from real-world testing and everyday use, his approach centres on helping students, professionals, and remote workers overcome task paralysis through micro-sprints and structured time intervals.
