🍅 What is Pomodoro?

The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. It uses a timer to break work into intervals, traditionally 25 minutes in length, separated by short breaks.

The word "Pomodoro" is Italian for "tomato," named after the tomato-shaped kitchen timer Cirillo used as a university student. It is designed to reduce the impact of internal and external interruptions on focus and flow.

🚀 How to Use It

Using our online timer is simple and follows the classic 5-step productivity cycle:

• Pick a Task: Choose one single thing to focus on.
• Set the Timer: Start the 25-minute "Pomodoro" session.
• Work Deeply: Work until the timer rings. No distractions!
• Short Break: Take a 5-minute break to stretch or hydrate.
• Long Break: After 4 sessions, take a longer 15-30 minute break.
