Found a simple fix for D&D combat that drags on too long

I started using a 2-minute hourglass for each player's turn and it cut our average fight time from 45 minutes down to 20. Has anyone else tried a timer like this at their table?

We cut ours down even more with a 30-second timer per turn.

My buddy's group tried @masondixon's 30-second timer and somebody knocked the hourglass off the table mid-game.
