What Is the Pomodoro Technique

1. Prepare a to-do list of tasks for the day and a Pomodoro timer (any timer capable of measuring time intervals will work).
2. Choose one task from the list and start working on it after setting a timer, for example, for a 25-minute interval.
3. Focus on the task as much as possible during this time. After completing the 25-minute pomodoro, take a 5-minute break.
4. Start another 25-minute cycle to continue working on your current task or start a new one. Then take another 5-minute break.
5. After 4 Pomodoro cycles, increase the rest period to 15–30 minutes.
6. Repeat the above sequence of actions until you complete all tasks from the to-do list.

Pomodoro Timer

• The platform's interface is simple and intuitive. When you visit the website, you'll see three large timers: Pomodoro, Rest, and Long Rest. Counters displaying the number of completed cycles are displayed next to each name.
• On the right side of the interface is a section with a to-do list. Here you can add work tasks with descriptions, delete completed or current tasks, and hide completed ones.
• At the top of the page is a settings menu that allows you to customize the duration of your concentration and rest cycles. The default intervals are set to 20–5–15 minutes.
• In the settings, users can also select a melody and adjust the volume of the signal that alerts them when the cycle ends, or enable silent mode.
• Another option allows you to enable or disable the automatic start of focus and break cycles. When using the Pomodoro timer online on desktop devices via Chrome and Safari browsers, you can receive pop-up notifications when the cycle is complete.
• The beta version of the app features a refreshed interface and several additional features. Specifically, it includes an expanded backlog with to-do lists, background images, and background music (chosen from the built-in library).
