How the Pomodoro Technique works

  1. Pick one task.
  2. Work for 25 minutes with notifications off.
  3. Take a 5-minute break: stand up, stretch, get water.
  4. After four rounds, take a longer 15–30 minute break.

Short, timed blocks make it easier to start and help you notice how long tasks really take. For reading-heavy subjects, many students prefer 50/10.

Frequently asked questions

Does the timer keep running if I switch tabs?

Yes. It tracks the real end time, so it stays accurate even if your browser slows background tabs.

Is 25 minutes the best length?

It's a good starting point. Try 50/10 for deep work once you're comfortable.
