Staying focused in a world full of distractions isn’t easy. Luckily, one simple tool — a timer — can dramatically improve your productivity. Here’s how you can use timers to stay on track and get more done.
What is the Pomodoro Technique?
The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method where you work for 25 minutes, then take a 5-minute break. After four work sessions, you take a longer 15–30 minute break. Using a timer keeps your sessions structured and helps maintain intense focus.
