Pomodoro Timer
Focus for 25 minutes, rest for 5, and take a long break every four sessions.
What is the Pomodoro Technique?
Francesco Cirillo started it as a university student with a tomato-shaped kitchen timer (pomodoro is Italian for tomato). In his book, a Pomodoro is 25 minutes of work plus a short break of 3–5 minutes, and every four Pomodoros you take a longer 15–30 minute break.
A default cycle starting at 9:00
