How to use the timer well
- Be honest with the first rating. The number is for you, not for anyone else.
- Keep your hands busy. Walk, stretch, wash a few dishes or tidy a shelf.
- Do not decide during the wait. Choose after the timer ends.
- Rate again. If the number dropped, you have your own proof that urges pass.
What the numbers can tell you
If the urge falls a lot, it was probably a craving driven by habit, boredom or mood. If it stays high or rises, you may simply be hungry, and a plain meal is a perfectly good answer. Either result is useful, and over a few weeks your ratings show which pattern is yours.
If you want the full ritual
The FeedMeNot app wraps this idea in a pretend delivery: you fill a cart, check out for Rs 0 and watch a rider on the map while the craving timer runs. Read more in urge surfing and the craving delay technique.
Fill the cart. Watch the rider. Keep your money.
