Once you install Tomighty, it lodges itself in the system tray area. It’s pretty simple and straightforward to use. My search ended with Tomighty, a free desktop timer for Pomodoro Technique. I didn’t want the application to bog down my system resources with too many features. While there are tons of good mobile Pomodoro apps, a simple and efficient desktop Pomodoro timer is what I was looking for. My short and long break timings are 10 and 20 minutes respectively. I prefer 30-40 minutes of focused work in the mornings, and shift to 20-25 minutes as time passes by. Same applies for the break timings you can take either a short or long break depending on how you’re feeling. It can also vary depending on what time of the day (or night) you’re working. It can be modified based on your individual preferences. The time you need to dedicate for work (also called a Pomodoro) need not always be 25 minutes. Hence the name Pomodoro, which means tomato in Italian. Trivia: Francesco Cirillo used a kitchen timer shaped like a tomato to record his timings. Repeat the same process over and over throughout the day to maximize productivity. The basic gist of the method is simple: you set a timer for 25 minutes and dedicate all your focused attention to a piece of work you’re doing. Pomodoro Technique is a time management tool introduced in the 1980s by an Italian named Francesco Cirillo. That’s when I stumbled on this wonderful time management technique called Pomodoro. While learning different things is one of my passions, I also have a great deal of trouble tackling procrastination.įor a layman, procrastination may seem like an easy challenge, but there’s a lot to it than what appears on the surface.

The main reason I started this blog is to share my experiences.
