Field notes
The described setup allows a quick-pick duration or any minute through 11:59 pm, with an optional note attached to the task. Users can mark it done, add ten minutes, or leave it unfinished; the plaque records the outcome. The page also describes a calm or still flame, with Reduce Motion holding the flame still while the wax continues to melt.
