Toastmasters Essential: How PaceTimer Helps You Ace the Timer Role

If you are a Toastmasters member, you are surely familiar with the nerve-wracking "traffic light" rules. Whether it's a Prepared Speech (Ice Breaker, Pathways) or Table Topics, timing is a crucial evaluation criterion.

The Pain Point: Cards are Clunky, Solo Practice is Hard

In meetings, the Timer holds up Green, Yellow, and Red cards. But when practicing alone, without someone holding cards, it's hard to develop a "sense of time." You might stare at a stopwatch, but that breaks your eye contact and focus.

The Solution: PaceTimer

PaceTimer is your pocket Timer tailored for Toastmasters.

1. Perfectly Adapts to TM Rules

You can preset different timing templates:

• Table Topics: 1 min Green, 1.5 min Yellow, 2 min Red.
• Prepared Speech: 5 min Green, 6 min Yellow, 7 min Red.

2. Full-Screen Immersive Experience

Place your phone in front of you. As time passes, the entire screen changes color. You don't need to stare at numbers; your peripheral vision picks up the shift. This helps train your internal "biological clock."

3. Haptic Feedback

Enable vibration alerts. When the color changes, the phone vibrates gently. This means you can even practice with the phone in your pocket, completely freeing yourself from visual dependency.

Conclusion

Whether you're aiming for "Best Speaker" at your next meeting or fulfilling the Timer role perfectly, PaceTimer is your indispensable partner.
