Simple Pomodoro Time Tracker

The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method that boosts productivity. Developed by Francesco Cirillo in the 1980s, it has gained widespread popularity for increasing work output in shorter periods.

The technique's principle is straightforward—break time into smaller chunks, work in brief bursts, and take regular breaks. To ensure adherence to these breaks, a timer is used as a signal to stop working.

Cirillo used a tomato-shaped kitchen timer, which gave the technique its name—"pomodoro" being the Italian word for tomato.

There are 6 major steps to the Pomodoro Technique:

1. Identify the task(s) you need to complete.
2. Set a timer for 25 minutes.
3. Work on the task without distractions.
4. When the timer goes off, take a 5-minute break.
5. Repeat this process three more times.
6. Take a longer 30-minute break, then start again.

That's it. The system is simple by design. The Pomodoro method focuses on getting your mind into a productive zone to complete your tasks efficiently.

To make this process easier for others, I’ve built a Simple Pomodoro Time Tracker on Notion.

Here’s what my Pomodoro tracker helps you do:

✅ Focus on tasks for 25 minutes at a time
✅ Take short breaks to refresh
✅ Track progress and completed tasks

You can use this tool with a free Notion account. How to use instructions are included in the link.

Whether you’re managing projects or just looking for a way to stay more focused, I hope this tracker can help you as much as it has helped me.

Good luck with your tasks, and may your pomodoro be as productive as they are enjoyable. You've got this! 🍅✨💪
