The Pomodoro Technique was developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s as a time management system built around focused work intervals separated by deliberate breaks. It works particularly well for ADHD brains because it matches the work period to a realistic attention span, builds in the breaks the brain needs, and creates a sense of urgency that helps defeat procrastination.
This timer follows a standard ADHD-friendly protocol: 20 minutes of focused work, then a 5-minute break. Use it for homework, projects, writing, or any task that requires sustained attention.
