Pomodoro Timer: 25 Minutes of Focus, 5 of Rest
The short answer
The classic Pomodoro is 25 minutes of focus, a 5-minute break, and after four rounds a longer 15-minute break. The timer below is set to that and counts your finished rounds. Put your phone away during a round and write down what you will study before you press start.

Round 1 of 4
The Pomodoro method: work with full focus for one block, then rest. After a few blocks, take a longer break. Keep this tab open: the time stays right even if the tab is in the background, and it shows in the tab title.
