What is the Pomodoro technique?
The Pomodoro technique is a time-management method invented by Francesco Cirillo. You work in 25-minute blocks — a pomodoro — followed by a short break. After four pomodoros you take a longer break. Splitting work into manageable blocks keeps you focused and prevents fatigue.
How to use the timer
- Pick a task to work on.
- Start the focus timer and work until it runs out.
- Take the short break that follows automatically.
- After four focus blocks you get a long break.
Tips
- Adjust the duration to your own rhythm via the settings.
- Treat a pomodoro as indivisible — do not interrupt it.
- Use the breaks to truly disconnect from your screen.
