When searching for neti pot sinus rinse recipes, I ran across this handy item, wow, for warning us when we are WASTING TIME. Ping to Quix and to All.

I just love how I answer my own question, Net search:

How to Make the Neti Pot Sinus Rinse

Mix one cup warm water with 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon non-iodized salt (found in the grocery store) and 1/4 teaspoon baking soda. The water should be lukewarm. This is enough for cleansing one nostril. You can mix the ingredients by shaking your bottle until the salt and baking soda are dissolved. You’ll need to mix up a second batch for the other nostril.

Using Your Squeezy Neti Pot

Stand over a sink and tilt your head to one side. Then insert the spout of your bottle in one nostril and squeeze in the warm solution. Remember don’t plug your other nostril. Continue until the bottle is empty. Blow your nose. Mix up a second batch of salt, baking soda and warm water, and clean the other nostril.

LOL, I don’t need a timer to tell me when I am wasting time.

But I did buy a cheap 15 minute type, for I was going to learn to do the jobs that I don’t want to do......and the ticking irritated me.

My friend Mary, would set the timer for 15 minutes and do a job that she did not do, when it went off, she could then be free to spend the same amount of time, doing something she enjoyed......which was sewing.

I am not as in control of myself as Mary was.

So I do only the fun ‘time wasters’.
