This timer is set to the classic Pomodoro rhythm: 25 minutes of focus, a 5-minute break, and a 15-minute long break after every fourth block. Press start and it runs through the whole cycle on its own, with a soft chime at each switch.

How to use it
Write down one task before you start — not a list, one thing. Start the timer and work on only that until the chime. When it rings, stop, even mid-sentence, and take the break away from the screen.
After four blocks the timer gives you a longer break. Take it. The long break is what keeps the fifth and sixth blocks from feeling like wading through mud.
Why 25 minutes works
Twenty-five minutes is short enough that starting does not feel like a commitment, and long enough to get something real done. Its main job is not to maximise output, it is to make beginning cheap — which is where most procrastination actually lives.
Once starting stops being the hard part, try longer blocks. The 25 is a convention, not a law.
