Let’s talk TVs. You know where I stand: A lot of lower-end models are perfectly good — and definitely easier on the wallet.

I’m literally surrounded by timers. There’s one on my phone, every smart speaker in my house can run a timer, and if I’m feeling nostalgic, I could even set my stove’s timer. So why am I recommending a standalone Pomodoro-style tabletop timer? Well, it’s downright charming, for starters. And I’d argue that despite the convenience of setting a timer with …
