GuruTimer Lite is quite simply a 10,000 hour countdown clock that allows you to set and track your personal goals.

GuruTimer LT comes with (WHITE) Interface only. Black & Silver are available through in-app purchase or standard, on full version of GuruTimer.

Would you like to be a Guru? To truly be the best at something?

Well it’s not as hard as you might think and requires only two things (10,000 hours of practice and the fortitude to see it through to the end.) Sadly it is usually the last part where most peoples goals of excellence falter and fail.

They begin with the greatest of intentions but as time goes by there interest inevitably waivers and slowly fades. That is why we built the GuruTimer! It’s clean minimal interface has one purpose, to help you realize your Guru quest by breaking down your 10,000 hour journey into small attainable bite sized pieces. For each 1000 hours of practice, you will move up one of ten Levels:

1) Rookie
2) Student
3) Proficient
4) Qualified
5) Efficient
6) Skilled
7) Talented
8) Professional
9) Expert
10) Guru

As you work your way through each level you can see you progress by clicking on the Goal/Level Button.
This display’s your current goal and your level within that goal, plus a visual indicator with 100 dot’s that
represent 10 hours each of practice as you drive forward toward your next level. To return to your countdown
screen your simply need to click the Goal/Level Button again.

Other features can be added to GuruTimer Lite to further enhance GuruTimer’s look and features. In Options
there are two in app upgrades which can be added to dramatically improve your experience.

1) Black Upgrade (Includes)
- Additional Custom Black Interface
- Multi-tasking Upgrade
- FaceBook Integration

2) Silver Upgrade (Includes)
- Additional Custom Silver Interface
- Multiple Goals Option
- iCloud Integration

So there it is.

Everything you need to start, the only thing left standing between you and becoming a Guru is the choice to do it and the commitment to bring your GuruTimer Countdown clock to zero!

Remember, the best aren’t born, their built. 10,000 hours at a time!

About the 10,000 hour rule

Mozart, The Beetles, Bill Gates and Tiger Woods all have one thing in common. They all spent over 10,000 hours perfecting there craft. The 10,000 hour rule is far from a new discovery. It has been proven time and time again by those who have committed to it throughout history.
Recently, it has been brought back out into the lime light by the author Malcolm Gladwell in his book Outliers. Gladwell points out that Bill Gates spent most of his childhood in a computer lab acquiring over 10,000 hours of practice by the time he started his company. The Beetles are another good example, playing eight hour straight gigs in Hamburg Germany for weeks on end. These are just a few of the many examples of those determined enough to succeed by relentlessly driving through 10,000 hours of practice to obtain the Guru status they so rightly deserve.
