I think Jim does it right. Except the only down side I see is that you have to pay attention to when it starts boiling to start timing the 5 minutes. So you have to watch the pot.
The other way, you throw a pot on the heat. Come back into the kitchen any time in the next hour or so to see that it's boiling. Drop some eggs in and set a timer. When you hear the timer go off, you come back in to get the eggs. You can focus on other stuff while doing the waiting.
