Work in timed sprints with breaks in between (Pomodoro method)
Functionality
Tomato Timer is a useful tool to improve your productivity when working and studying. Based on the Pomodoro time management technique, it encourages you to break your time into sections of hard work or ‘pomodoros’ (25 minutes) and short breaks (5 minutes). The programme will alert you when a break is due and when you should resume work, and will reward you with a long break (10 minutes) after every four ‘pomodoros’.
