How does a Pomodoro timer work?

A Pomodoro timer is a time management tool that helps individuals work with more focus and productivity. The technique follows a simple process where work is divided into intervals known as "Pomodoros," typically lasting 25 minutes. A Pomodoro timer works by setting a countdown for each Pomodoro session, usually accompanied by an audible alarm or visual indication when the time is up. After completing one Pomodoro, a short break of around 5 minutes is taken, and this cycle continues. After completing a set number of Pomodoros, typically four, a longer break of around 15-30 minutes is taken. The timer serves as a rhythmic reminder, encouraging individuals to stay dedicated to their tasks during the focused work periods and providing regular breaks to prevent burnout.
