Tempus - Pomodoro Timer for Android

11 things about Tempus - Pomodoro Timer

1. It’s a good idea to take advantage of the opportunity for overlearning, using the remaining portion of the Pomodoro to review or repeat what you’ve done, make small improvements, and note what you’ve learned until the Pomodoro rings.

2. Review the list of upcoming tasks for the next planned Pomodoro time blocks, and start reflecting on or updating those tasks.

3. A pomodoro is indivisible; when interrupted during a pomodoro, either the other activity must be recorded and postponed (using the inform – negotiate – schedule – call back strategy) or the pomodoro must be abandoned.

4. The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s.

5. After four pomodoros, take a longer break (15–30 minutes), reset your checkmark count to zero, then go to step 1.

6. For the purposes of the technique, a pomodoro is the interval of time spent working.

7. Specific cases should be handled with common sense: If you finish a task while the Pomodoro is still ticking, the following rule applies: If a Pomodoro begins, it has to ring.

8. The technique uses a timer to break down work into intervals, traditionally 25 minutes in length, separated by short breaks.

9. 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.

10. Set the pomodoro timer (traditionally to 25 minutes).

11. A short (3–5 minutes) rest separates consecutive pomodoros.
