How to use the Pomodoro timer
Choose a preset or set your own focus, short break, and long break lengths. Start the timer, work on one task until the session ends, then take the break the timer suggests.
The classic Pomodoro rhythm is 25 minutes of focus, 5 minutes of rest, and a longer break after four focus sessions. This timer also supports shorter study sprints and longer deep-work blocks when a different rhythm fits your day better.
Why focus blocks help
A timer turns vague work into a clear next step. Instead of trying to be productive all afternoon, you only need to protect one focus block, finish one task, and then take a real break.
That rhythm is especially useful between meetings. Use Koalendar to keep your calendar organized, then use this timer to protect the focused work time between calls, classes, interviews, and client sessions.
If your focus blocks need to fit around a remote team, use the meeting time zone planner to find fair meeting times before you protect deep-work sessions.
Tips for better focus sessions
- Write one task label before you start so the session has a clear target.
- Use the 25-minute classic preset for everyday work and the 45-minute deep-work preset for complex tasks.
- Keep short breaks away from the same screen when you can: stand up, stretch, drink water, or look outside.
- Use the weekly summary to notice whether meetings, admin work, or context switching are crowding out focus time.
