Why a 15 minute mindfulness timer works
- Notice and return, that is all
- Wandering is not failing
- Same seat, same time
Attention will leave several times in fifteen minutes. That is the ordinary experience, and the returning is the practice rather than an interruption to it.
How to spend the fifteen minutes
| Minute | What to do |
|---|---|
| 0-1 | Notice what the body is already doing |
| 1-14 | Notice, return, repeat, without scoring it |
| 14-15 | Carry the attention into the next task |

Questions people ask
What is the difference between mindfulness and meditation?
Meditation is the formal practice, usually seated for a set time. Mindfulness is the wider attitude of attention you carry into ordinary tasks. This timer works for either.
What if my mind wanders the whole time?
That is the ordinary experience, not a failed session. The noticing and returning is the practice, and a restless quarter of an hour counts exactly as much as a calm one.
Will the 15 minute mindfulness timer make a sound while it runs?
No. It stays silent throughout and ends with whichever sound you choose, including a soft bell or complete silence. Nothing ticks and nothing flashes.
Does the 15 minute mindfulness timer work offline?
