Study Timer: 50 Minutes of Focus, 10 Minutes of Break
The short answer
Some people find 25 minutes too short for hard subjects such as maths or coding. This timer is set to 50 minutes of focus and a 10-minute break, with a 30-minute rest after three rounds. Use it for problem sets and long readings, and move your body in the breaks.

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.

Frequently asked questions
Is a longer round better than 25 minutes?
It depends on the task and on you. Hard problems often need a longer unbroken stretch, while light reading suits shorter rounds. Try both and keep the one that works.
What should I do in the break?
Rest your eyes and body, not your attention on a screen. A short walk or some water works better than scrolling.
