How to Use This Pomodoro Timer

Our timer is built around the classic Pomodoro Technique, a proven method for improving focus and managing energy. The process is simple:

  1. Choose Your Task: Decide on the one thing you will work on.
  2. Start the Timer: Select “Pomodoro” (25 minutes) and click “Start.” Work on your chosen task without any interruptions until the timer rings.
  3. Take a Short Break: When the timer goes off, you’ve completed one Pomodoro! Now, select “Short Break” (5 minutes) and step away from your work. Stretch, grab a glass of water, or simply rest your eyes.
  4. Repeat: After your short break, start another 25-minute Pomodoro.
  5. Take a Long Break: After completing four Pomodoros, take a longer, more restorative break of 15-30 minutes.

Why Does the Pomodoro Technique Work?

The magic of the Pomodoro Technique isn’t just about the timer; it’s about the psychology behind it.

  • It Fights Procrastination: Committing to just 25 minutes of work feels much less daunting than staring at a 3-hour project. It helps you get started, which is often the hardest part.
  • It Prevents Burnout: The mandatory breaks force you to rest and recharge, preventing the mental fatigue that leads to burnout.
  • It Improves Your Focus: By training your brain to work in focused sprints, you build your “attention muscle” over time.
