What is Pomodoro Timer?
The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method developed by Francesco Cirillo. It uses a timer to break work into focused intervals (typically 25 minutes) separated by short breaks (5 minutes). After every four work sessions, you take a longer break. This simple rhythm helps maintain concentration and prevent burnout.
How to Use
- Set your desired work duration (default 25 minutes) and break duration (default 5 minutes)
- Click Start to begin the work session and focus on your task
- When the timer ends, a sound notification plays and a break begins automatically
- Track your completed sessions and review your productivity history
Frequently Asked Questions
- Why 25 minutes?
- Research suggests 25 minutes is long enough to make meaningful progress but short enough to maintain full concentration. However, you can customize the duration to fit your personal focus span.
- What should I do during breaks?
- Step away from your screen. Stretch, get water, take a short walk, or rest your eyes. Avoid starting new tasks or checking social media, as the goal is to recharge your focus.
- How many pomodoros should I do per day?
- Most people complete 8 to 12 pomodoros in a productive day. Start with a few and gradually increase. The session counter helps you track your daily output over time.
