Pomodoro Timer

The Pomodoro Technique was created by Francesco Cirillo in the 1980s. Work for 25 minutes (one "pomodoro"), then take a 5-minute break. After 4 pomodoros, take a longer 15–30 minute break. This builds focus and prevents burnout.

Short, time-boxed work sessions create urgency and prevent procrastination. Scheduled breaks prevent mental fatigue. The timer creates accountability. Studies show 25-minute focused sessions improve productivity significantly.
