How to use the Pomodoro Technique online
- Choose one task to work on.
- Start a 25-minute focus session.
- Work on that task until the timer finishes.
- Take a short 5-minute break.
- After four focus sessions, take a longer break.
You can adjust the focus and break lengths in the timer settings. Some people prefer longer 40- or 50-minute sessions, while others work best with shorter intervals.
What is the Pomodoro Technique?
The Pomodoro Technique is a time-management method based on alternating focused work with planned breaks. The traditional structure uses 25 minutes of focused activity followed by a 5-minute break.
After several completed focus periods, you take a longer break. This structure can make large tasks feel more manageable and provides clear stopping points throughout a work or study session.
Customize your focus sessions
The traditional 25-minute format is a useful starting point, but it is not required. You can change the focus duration, short break, long break, and the number of sessions before a long break.
TimerFor stores your selected Pomodoro settings in your browser, so they can remain available when you return on the same device.
Pomodoro timer for studying
A Pomodoro timer can help divide revision, reading, writing, and other study activities into shorter periods. During a focus session, try to work on one clearly defined task and leave messages or other distractions until the break.
For longer study sessions, use the completed-session counter to keep track of how many focus periods you have finished.
Pomodoro timer for work
You can use the timer for writing, administration, planning, programming, email, and other work that benefits from uninterrupted attention. A short break between sessions gives you a natural opportunity to stand up, move, or review your next task.
