Thanks to Marc Hoffman for his online Meditation Timer, which allows you to time your meditations with an authentic meditation bell. The bell reminds you to practice awareness when at work on the computer. It rings at random intervals. You decide the minimum and maximum time for that interval. [Warning: It may occasionally remind you how annoying bells can be. Just note "annoyance" and continue your work :) ]

There is also a downloadable version that installs the timer/reminder program on your computer so you can run it offline. This version runs on Windows only (sorry, Mac lovers -- no offense intended). Included is a feature to uninstall the program.
