# Use multiple timer activities in one workflow

Workflow timer activities store data independently of each other in an activity-specific
scratchpad.

Previously, all timer activities in a workflow accessed a single, shared scratchpad, which
could lead to conflicts when adding multiple timer activities to one workflow.  
Timer scratchpads entries hold these values:

* workflow.scratchpad.endTime
* workflow.scratchpad.realStartTime
* workflow.scratchpad.retroactiveSecsLeft
