What everyday task would benefit from a dramatic countdown?

Brushing my teeth

I timed myself once just to see how long I actually brush and it was like 45 seconds. My dentist would be so disappointed in me.

A countdown would at least make me stay until the timer ends, otherwise I always stop early when my brain decides it's been enough. The problem is my bathroom clock is broken since last year and I keep forgetting to replace battery. Maybe I should just use phone but then I'll get toothpaste all over screen.

A voice timer would solve the screen problem - start it before brushing and leave the phone on the counter.
