Inspiration

I learnt about the Pomodoro Technique from my dad. I realized the technique can help me in my homework I decided to introduce health breaks(short) and entertainment breaks(long) The app will help students organize their homework and take proper breaks.

What it does

A website that uses the Pomodoro Technique to help with homework What is the Pomodoro Technique:

  1. Decide on the task to be done.
  2. Set the pomodoro timer (traditionally to 25 minutes).
  3. Work on the task.
  4. End work when the timer rings and put a checkmark on a piece of paper.
  5. If you have fewer than four checkmarks, take a short break (3–5 minutes) and then return to step 2; otherwise continue to step 6.
  6. After four pomodoros, take a longer break (15–30 minutes), reset your checkmark count to zero, then go to step 1.
