Pomodoro Timer
Boost your productivity with focused work sessions and regular breaks.
📖 The Pomodoro Technique
The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. It uses a timer to break work into intervals, traditionally 25 minutes in length, separated by short breaks.
How It Works
- Choose a task - Decide what you want to work on
- Set the timer - Work for 25 minutes (one "Pomodoro")
- Work until the timer rings - Focus completely on your task
- Take a short break - 5 minutes to rest and recharge
- Every 4 pomodoros - Take a longer break (15-30 minutes)
💡 Pro Tip: If you get distracted during a Pomodoro, write down the distraction and deal with it during your break. This helps maintain focus while not losing important thoughts.
