Pomodoro Timer — what it does

Run a focused work timer with configurable work and break lengths, and start, pause and reset controls. The Pomodoro technique's insight is not the twenty-five minutes specifically but the commitment: for one interval you do one thing, and the break is what makes that sustainable.

When this tool helps

  • Working through a task that keeps losing out to interruptions and tab-switching.
  • Breaking a long session into intervals with enforced rest, rather than working to exhaustion.
  • Timeboxing a task you have been avoiding — one interval is a small enough commitment to start.

How to use it

  1. Set the work minutes and break minutes.
  2. Start the timer and work on one thing.
  3. Take the break when it ends.
  4. Reset and repeat for the next interval.

Accuracy, limits, and good practice

  • Adjust the interval to the work: twenty-five minutes suits fragmented tasks, while deep work often justifies fifty with a longer break.
  • Take the break away from the screen. A break spent scrolling does not restore attention the way standing up does.
  • Keep the tab in the foreground — browsers throttle background timers, so a minimised window is not a reliable clock.

Frequently asked questions

Why twenty-five minutes?

It is the original technique's default, chosen as long enough to make progress and short enough to protect from procrastination. Adjust it to your work.

What if I am interrupted?

The classic advice is to note the interruption and continue the interval, dealing with it during the break where possible.

Does the timer keep running in the background?

Browsers throttle background tabs, so keep it visible for accurate timing.

番茄鐘能做什麼

執行可自訂工作與休息時長的專注計時器,並提供開始、暫停與重設。番茄工作法的重點不在於一定要二十五分鐘,而在於那份承諾:這一段時間裡只做一件事,而休息正是讓這件事能持續下去的原因。

什麼時候用得上

  • 處理老是被打斷、老是切分頁而做不完的工作。
  • 把長時間工作切成帶強制休息的區段,而不是做到耗盡。
  • 為一直在逃避的任務設時間箱——一個區段的承諾小到足以讓人開始。

使用步驟

  1. 設定工作分鐘數與休息分鐘數。
  2. 開始計時,專心做一件事。
  3. 時間到就去休息。
  4. 重設後進行下一個區段。

精確度、限制與實務建議

  • 依工作性質調整長度:零碎任務適合二十五分鐘,深度工作常值得用五十分鐘搭配較長休息。
  • 休息請離開螢幕。滑手機的休息,恢復注意力的效果遠不如站起來走動。
  • 把分頁保持在前景——瀏覽器會節流背景計時器,最小化的視窗不是可靠的時鐘。

常見問題

為什麼是二十五分鐘?

那是原始方法的預設值,長到足以有進展、短到不會讓人拖延。請依自己的工作調整。

被打斷了怎麼辦?

經典建議是記下打斷事項、繼續完成該區段,能等的就留到休息時間處理。

切到背景還會計時嗎?

瀏覽器會節流背景分頁,需要準確計時請讓它保持可見。
