What is the Pomodoro technique?
Work in focused 25-minute sessions, take a 5-minute break, and after four sessions take a longer 15-minute break. It keeps focus high and fatigue low.
Complete Guide to the Pomodoro Technique
The Pomodoro technique, created by Francesco Cirillo in the 1980s, fights the two enemies of deep work: distraction and fatigue. A 25-minute focus session is short enough to sustain full attention, and the 5-minute break that follows lets your brain consolidate. After four sessions, a 15-minute long break recharges you properly.
Three rules make it work: one task per session (no multitasking), no pausing the timer for "just one quick message" (write it down, handle it in the break), and always take the break — skipping breaks is how a productive morning becomes an exhausted afternoon. This timer runs entirely in your browser, shows the countdown in the tab title so you can watch it from another tab, and plays a gentle beep when a session ends.
