Pomodoro Technique Timer: Set Up the Perfect Session

Choose Your Ratios

Good defaults: 25/5 (balanced), 40/7 (writing), 50/10 (deep work), 15/3 (getting started).

Make It Enjoyable

• Use calm, lyric-free music at low volume.
• Pick a theme that feels inviting, not loud.
• Prep your workspace: water, posture, lighting, and one window.

Advanced Settings

• Long breaks every 4 pomodoros (15–30 minutes).
• Gentle end-of-interval sounds to avoid startle.
• Track sessions per task to improve estimates over time.
