Explain that setting goals will help them stay focused and have a successful school year.

What is the Time Cube?

The Time Cube is the world's easiest timer that helps you focus on your priorities. Instead of fumbling around with buttons or dials, or getting distracted by your smart phone when setting its timer, all you have to do is flip the cube and get things done.

It's versatile.

Everybody loves the Time Cube. From parents motivating their children and themselves to tackle chores and homework, to teachers enriching their classroom lesson plans, to executives time-blocking their day and making their meetings more efficient, to exercise junkies with rigid training regiments, or even chefs precisely timing their complex recipes. The list just keeps on going and the possibilities are endless!

It's so easy to use, it's a no-brainer!

* Turn the cube to begin countdown
* The cube beeps when time is up
* Turn the cube upright to stop
