About the 25 Minute Timer

The 25-minute timer is the cornerstone of the famous Pomodoro Technique, developed by Francesco Cirillo. This duration is scientifically optimized for maintaining deep focus while avoiding mental fatigue. It's long enough to make substantial progress on complex tasks yet short enough to maintain peak concentration throughout.
