Pomodoro Timer FAQ
❓ Why is 25 minutes the optimal Pomodoro length?
Francesco Cirillo discovered through testing that 25 minutes is the perfect balance - long enough to get into flow state, short enough to maintain focus without fatigue. Research supports 20-30 minutes as the average attention span.
❓ What should I do during the 5-minute breaks?
Step away from your work completely. Stretch, walk around, hydrate, or do breathing exercises. Avoid screens and social media - these don't give your brain the rest it needs.
❓ Can I adjust the timer length for different tasks?
Yes! While 25 minutes works for most tasks, you can customize: 15-20 minutes for high concentration tasks, 45-90 minutes for creative work, or 10 minutes for quick administrative tasks.
❓ What if I get interrupted during a Pomodoro?
If the interruption is urgent, handle it and restart the Pomodoro. If it's not urgent, note it down and deal with it during your break. The key is protecting your focused work time.
❓ How many Pomodoros should I aim for daily?
Start with 4-6 Pomodoros (2-3 hours of focused work) and adjust based on your energy and goals. Quality matters more than quantity - better to have 4 focused Pomodoros than 8 distracted ones.
