Work in focused 25-minute sprints with short breaks — the Pomodoro technique, running right in your browser. Hit start, ignore everything else, and let the timer track your focus sessions.
Work for 25 minutes on a single task, then take a 5-minute break — that's one 'pomodoro'. After four, take a longer break. The point is simple: a short, fixed timer makes starting easy and keeps distractions out, because anything can wait 25 minutes. It turns vague, draggy work into a series of small, finishable sprints. Pair it with time tracking to see how many focused hours you actually get.
A time-management method: work in focused 25-minute blocks separated by 5-minute breaks, with a longer break every four. It reduces distraction and procrastination.
It's long enough for real progress but short enough that starting feels easy and distractions can wait. You can adjust the idea, but 25/5 is the classic rhythm.
The timer counts focus sessions; for a full picture of how your hours are spent across tasks and projects, a time tracker like Toggl logs it automatically.
