Why use a stopwatch?
Measure reality, not estimates
A stopwatch is useful when you do not want to set an end time in advance. It tells you how long a task, routine, or session actually took, which is often more valuable than guessing.
That makes it especially useful for comparing task duration, building routines, and improving time awareness over repeated sessions.
