How to Use Pomodoro Timer
Master the Pomodoro Technique in 5 simple steps
Step 1: Choose Your Task
Select a single task you want to focus on. Break larger projects into smaller, manageable tasks.
Step 2: Set the Timer
Start the 25-minute timer. This is your focused work period - no distractions allowed!
Step 3: Work with Focus
Concentrate solely on your task until the timer rings. If a distraction pops up, write it down and return to work.
Step 4: Take a Short Break
When the timer rings, take a 5-minute break. Stand up, stretch, grab a drink.
Step 5: Repeat the Cycle
After 4 pomodoros, take a longer 15-30 minute break to recharge.
Customizing Your Timer
- Adjust work duration (default: 25 minutes)
- Set short break length (default: 5 minutes)
- Configure long break duration (default: 15 minutes)
- Enable auto-start for breaks and work sessions
- Toggle sound notifications on/off
Pro Tips
- • Put your phone on silent during focus sessions

- • Track your daily pomodoros to see your progress
- • Start with the default 25/5 timing before customizing
