Can confirm - we do everything with countdown. He also loves using the timer on my phone for activities (ed psych thinks his anxiety decreases, as he feels in control).
Also giving options (even if contrived) work well for him. E.g. "do you want to brush teeth or put PJs on first?". He has to do both, but feels more at ease getting to choose.
Best of luck!
