Jan Rogers, Founder & Inventor - Time Timer
In October 1989, Jan was a busy mom with a curious kindergartner. Her daughter routinely asked questions about time: "How much longer? When will we go? How long is 15 minutes? When will dinner be ready?" Jan, like many others, found explaining time to a 5-year old difficult, frustrating...okay, downright crazy-making.
After many years of dedicated work, solopreneurship turned into a team effort, and the vision of "being able to see time" eventually traveled around the globe. After 25 years, the same Time Timer Jan originally sketched on a legal pad can be found in classrooms, homes, therapy centers, restaurants, boardrooms, and factories around the world.
How Time Timer Works
Easy to Set
By turning the center knob counterclockwise, the colored disk can be set to the desired amount of time.
No Loud Ticking
The timer automatically begins to count down with no loud ticking.
Time Visually Disappears
As time elapses, the colored disk disappears. The Time Timer operates in a clockwise direction to replicate the movement of an analog clock, and shows exactly how much time is left.
Make Every Moment Count
When you see time disappear, you can conquer it. When the red disk is gone, time is up! An optional alert is available.
Jan Rogers
Time Timer Inventor and Founder
Over 30 years ago, Time Timer inventor Jan Rogers’ youngest child struggled to make transitions from one daily routine to another.
Motivated to solve this universal problem, Jan created the Time Timer—an innovative, simple time management tool designed to “show” the passage of time through the use of a patented red disk. As time elapses, the red disk disappears—making common routines at work, school or home stress-free and enjoyable.
