'Tiller' features a [minimalist design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimalist-goal-tracker) to ensure time-tracking remains as seamless and efficient as possible.

Any busy office worker is tasked with a variety of projects that require a designated portion of the day to complete. However, with a hectic work schedule, it can be easy to spend too much time working on one project, while other tasks continue to pile up. Tiller is an office accessory that features a [tactile interface](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timedot), while allowing users to easily navigate through a series of tasks. With the device, users can organize and visualize specific projects by simply turning the dial to select a new task. Each time the user turns the dial to begin working on a different task, Tiller's internal clock begins monitoring the time.

The device will then relay valuable [time management information](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timelenses) to the user, informing them how much time is spent working on each project.
