What is the Pomodoro technique?
The Pomodoro technique is a time management method that alternates 25-minute blocks of focused work with 5-minute breaks. After 4 Pomodoros, you take a longer break of 15-20 minutes. It was developed by Francesco Cirillo in the 1980s and is today one of the most widely used productivity techniques in the world.
How to use the Pomodoro timer
- Pick one concrete task. Not "work" in the abstract. One task.
- Press "Start" on the timer above. It is already preloaded with 25 minutes.
- Work without interruptions until it rings. No phone, no email, no tabs you don't need.
- When it rings, take a 5-minute break. Stand up, drink water, look out the window. No screens.
- Repeat 4 times, then take a longer break of 15-20 minutes.
Why does it work?
The brain concentrates better when it knows the effort has a defined, nearby end. 25 minutes is short enough to avoid draining your attention and long enough to make real progress. The mandatory break prevents accumulated mental fatigue.
Frequently asked questions
Does the timer keep running if I switch tabs?
Yes, the timer keeps running even if you switch tabs or minimize the browser. It uses absolute timestamps so the countdown stays accurate even if the tab loses focus.
Can I make the timer repeat automatically?
Yes, enable the "Repeat when finished" option in the timer widget. When it rings, the countdown starts over automatically. Useful for interval exercises or periodic reminders.
What is the Pomodoro technique?
The Pomodoro technique consists of working in 25-minute blocks of total concentration followed by 5-minute breaks. After 4 Pomodoros, you take a longer break of 15-20 minutes. The idea is simple: the brain concentrates better when it knows the effort has a near, defined end.
