#POMO TIMER MAC ANDROID#

I would love to cover both versions of the app in this piece, but it's not uncommon to find free Android apps offer paid counterparts in the iOS App Store. Unlike Android, however, you need to pay for Forest on your iPhone, which is a shame. Before any astute Forest fans roast me in the comments, yes, Forest is also available on iOS. The first app I tried was Forest for Android. That said, I'm happy to share my findings with you, and encourage you to spend some time testing any of the apps that appeal to you most. I will say, some of these apps can be fully understood in five minutes, while I imagine others could take five days to truly see the whole picture.

The idea is to always have that break to look forward to so you stick with the work. You get to choose - 15 minutes, 25 minutes. After the fourth, instead of taking a five-minute break, take something longer. So on and so forth until you've completed four 'Pomodoros' (the Italian word for 'tomatoes,' as in a tomato timer). While five minutes doesn't sound as good as, say, the hours of reckless abandon you usually goof off with, after you put in your next 25 minutes, you get another five-minute break. Why would this help?' Because, when that timer goes off, you get a whole five-minute break to do whatever you want. 'We've already established I have a focusing problem. Don't check Facebook, don't reply to that WhatsApp message. Now, these intervals change depending on who you talk to, but for the most part, here's the general rule: Created by Francesco Cirillo, the Pomodoro Technique helps you stay on track by breaking down your work into brief, easy-to-manage time intervals.

'I want to do something fun.' Listen, I promise those memes will be there when you get back. You can be like me, taking control of your productivity with the right app. Before you start another YouTube video, know you don't have to be like Spongebob. At first, it seems so innocent to spend five minutes checking Reddit or Twitter.
