  • Ensures that every task is given equal attention as opposed to becoming fixated on one that proves the most engaging.
  • Allows one to plan for breaks without guilt and helps to make sure one is not working until physically unable.
  • Allows for a more structured sleep schedule by giving a stricter routine for the day meaning that work is not left until small hours of the morning.
