Some are really hardcore- the DM shouts "What are you doing!? Don't know? Too late! You skip your turn!"
Something like a 30, 60 second timer should be good, though.
If it's not something that is specifically a 'pressure' decision, that's fine. But, 1 minute, to decide where to move, whether to attack or not, how to venture through a situation during an encounter? To me, I guess that would depend on how experienced a player is. My current game is with a lot of brand new players, and a little extra time to figure out just WHAT they CAN do is expected. If everyone is experienced, a minute spent solely during your turn to decide what you'll do to occupy a 6 second fragment seems long.

Get a tiny hourglass (that obviously doesn't take an hour)...

A timer seems reasonable. I've heard of other groups doing this

If he hasn't decided on an action when it's his turn, then he forfeits his turn.
