A few thoughts, nothing grand....
Why should you use a timer for writing or other tasks?
Because time can be used as a push, as energy, as a source of motivation. Without the container of time, it is often hard to push ourselves in the moment. For example, I use a timer when grading. I decide on how much time I will allocate per paper, and push myself through, using time to contain the task. Otherwise, I can take all day.
Or all week even..
Time is a push because it is finite. It is why existentialists ask us to frequently consider death----the end can push us to make important choices with our time.
