I think that's generally a good approach - a script is a simple and flexible solution.
I would hesitate, however, to recommend the applescript
delay command, which has had the
reputation of being a surprisingly voracious resource hog, and, depending on the OS X version, might conceivably impact the perfomance of OmniFocus and any other applications that are struggling to get by.
BSD
sleep has always been a good citizen, so an alternative might be something like:
Code:
do shell script "sleep 120"
say "Time is Up"
or
Code:
do shell script "sleep 120
say " & quoted form of "Hurry up please, it's Time ..."
