About Pomodoro Timer
What is the Pomodoro Technique?
The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method that uses a timer to break work into intervals. These intervals are typically 25 minutes long, separated by short breaks. It was developed to help people stay focused and avoid burnout.
How to Use the Timer
- Focus: Start a 25-minute focus session. Work entirely on a single task without distractions.
- Short Break: When the timer rings, take a 5-minute break. Step away from your desk, stretch, or get water.
- Repeat: Do this 4 times (4 Pomodoros).
- Long Break: After 4 sessions, take a longer break of 15 to 30 minutes to fully recharge.
