🍅 Pomodoro Timer

How the Pomodoro Technique works

• Work for 25 minutes (1 "Pomodoro") with full focus, no distractions
• Take a 5-minute break to refresh — stand up, drink water, look away from screen
• After 4 Pomodoros, take a longer 15-30 minute break
• Created by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s, named after his tomato (pomodoro in Italian) kitchen timer

Tips

• Don't check phone or social media during focus sessions
• If interrupted, restart the current Pomodoro
• Use breaks to actually rest, not for "small tasks"
• Keep your daily Pomodoro count modest (4-12) for sustainable productivity
