Pomodoro
Pomodoro is a time management technique that helps improve productivity and focus by breaking work into intervals. This technique helps you maintain focus and prevent burnout by breaking your work into manageable chunks.
You work for 25 minutes, then take a short 5-minute break to recharge. After completing this cycle three times, you take a longer 15-minute break. This structured approach promotes productivity and helps you stay motivated throughout your tasks.
Starting A Pomodoro Session
Do not close the app or lock the screen to prevent the session from being stopped.
To ensure uninterrupted Pomodoro sessions and optimize energy consumption, it is recommended not to close the app during a session. Instead, you can activate Night mode. Night mode reduces the app's display brightness and uses a dark color scheme, which helps conserve energy and minimizes strain on your eyes.
In the app, run a Pomodoro session by following these steps:
Press on the Plus button
On the Home screen, locate the Plus button and press it. A menu will appear, and among the options, select Pomodoro.
Customise Pomodoro settings
- A new window will open, allowing you to customize the session settings. By default, the session consists of 25 minutes of work, followed by a 5-minute break and a 15-minute long break.
- You can adjust these times according to your preferences.
- Additionally, you can specify the number of repetitions for the Pomodoro cycle. Each cycle includes the work period, short breaks, and long break.
- Once you have configured the settings, you can add tasks directly within the Pomodoro session. This helps you define what you will be working on during each interval.
Start a session
After adding your tasks, click the Save button to start the Pomodoro session.
Tasks Completion
During a Pomodoro session, you have the option to complete tasks directly within the app. If you have added tasks before starting the session in the Pomodoro settings, you will see them listed on the screen.
Night mode
Night mode is a mode that provides a visually comfortable and distraction-free experience during your Pomodoro sessions. To enable Night mode, simply tap on the sun button located at the top of the screen. The button will transform into a moon icon, indicating that Night mode is active.
When Night mode is enabled, the background color will change, and elements on the screen will be darkened. This creates a soothing environment that reduces eye strain and minimizes distractions, allowing you to focus better on your tasks.
During the work phase of your Pomodoro session, you will see a sun icon moving from left to right, indicating progress. When it's time for a rest phase, the sun icon will be replaced with a moon icon, representing the relaxation period.
To disable Night mode, simply tap on the same button, which now displays the moon icon. This will revert the screen to its regular mode.
By utilizing Night mode, you can create an immersive and conducive environment for productive work while keeping track of your session's progress through the visual cues provided by the sun and moon icons.
