What is the Pomodoro Technique?

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 technique is named after the tomato-shaped kitchen timer Cirillo used as a university student.

How It Works

1. Choose a task - Add it to the task list below
2. Start the 25-minute timer - Click Start or press Space
3. Work with full focus - No distractions until the timer rings
4. Take a 5-minute break - Step away and rest your mind
5. Repeat - After 4 pomodoros, take a longer 15-30 minute break

Why 25 Minutes?

Research shows that 25 minutes is long enough to make meaningful progress on a task, but short enough to maintain intense focus. The regular breaks prevent mental fatigue and keep you fresh throughout the day.

Benefits of the Pomodoro Technique

• Increased focus - Knowing you only need to focus for 25 minutes makes it easier to resist distractions
• Better time awareness - You learn how long tasks actually take
• Reduced burnout - Regular breaks prevent exhaustion
• Improved planning - Break large projects into pomodoro-sized chunks
• Greater accountability - Track completed pomodoros to measure productivity

Features

• Preset timers for work (25 min) and breaks (5, 10 min)
• Custom duration input
• Built-in task list
• Browser notifications when timer ends
• Audio alert on completion
