Ninety seconds is the default rest between strength sets. Shorter and the next set collapses; longer and the session loses density. The line sits about here. The catch is that rest is exactly when people forget to time anything.
It is also the length behind the neuroscientist Jill Bolte Taylor's ninety-second rule: the physiological surge of an emotion runs its course in roughly ninety seconds, and what remains after that is the story you keep telling yourself. Hence the advice to count ninety seconds before answering while angry.
Neither situation leaves you watching a clock. The PiP window floats above your other windows, so the remaining time is one glance away.
Either. Tap the digits and enter 1 in the minutes box and 30 in seconds, or bookmark this page, which opens with 90 seconds already set.
Pressing start marks the exact moment the rest begins, which is worth having. If you want to keep your hands off the mouse, the space bar toggles start and pause whenever no input field has focus.
