Overview

Plan your study sessions using the Pomodoro Technique. Enter your total study time and the calculator will determine the number of 25-minute focus sessions, 5-minute breaks, and long break timings.

Formula

1 Pomodoro = 25 min focus + 5 min break (30 min total). Long break (15-30 min) every 4 Pomodoros. Pomodoros needed = Total study time (min) / 25. Example: 3 hours → 180 / 25 ≈ 8 Pomodoros.

How to Use

  1. 1Enter your total study goal time (hours or minutes).
  2. 2Set focus duration (default 25 min) and break duration (default 5 min).
  3. 3Set long break interval (default every 4 Pomodoros) and duration (default 15 min).
  4. 4Click 'Calculate' to see your full session plan.

Tips

  • If 25 minutes feels too long at first, start with 15 minutes and gradually increase.
  • Put your phone out of sight during focus periods.
  • Use break time for light activities like stretching or drinking water.
  • Track your daily Pomodoro count to monitor your study output.

FAQ

Q. What is the Pomodoro Technique?

Developed by Francesco Cirillo in the 1980s, it is named after the tomato-shaped kitchen timer he used. It involves 25-minute focused work sessions followed by 5-minute breaks, with a 15-30 minute long break every 4 sessions. Short bursts of focus improve productivity.

Q. What if 25 minutes is too short or too long?

Adjust to your preference. If you can focus longer, try 50 min focus + 10 min break. If focus is difficult, start with 15 min focus + 3 min break and gradually increase.

Q. What if I get interrupted during a Pomodoro?

For external interruptions (calls, questions), note them down and handle them during break. For internal distractions (thoughts), write them on paper and refocus. A broken Pomodoro is technically invalid and should be restarted.
