How to use the Pomodoro Technique
Pick one task, start a 25-minute focus round and work on only that task until the alarm rings. Take a 5-minute break: stand up, drink water, look away from the screen. After four focus rounds take a longer break of 15–30 minutes. If you are interrupted, note it and return to the task; if a task is finished early, use the rest of the round to review it.
Questions
What is a Pomodoro timer?
A Pomodoro timer splits work into short focused rounds, traditionally 25 minutes, separated by 5-minute breaks. The method was created by Francesco Cirillo, who used a tomato-shaped kitchen timer (pomodoro is Italian for tomato).
Can I change the times?
Yes. Open Settings and set your own focus, short break and long break lengths, for example 50 minutes of focus and 10 minutes of break. Your settings are saved in this browser.
Will the timer work if I switch to another tab?
Yes. The timer counts against the clock, not the screen, so it stays accurate in a background tab and rings when time is up. The remaining time is also shown in the tab title.
Why do I not hear the alarm?
Browsers only allow sound after you have clicked something on the page, so press Start once. Also check your device volume and the volume setting here, and use “Test sound”.
