What does this tool do?
The pomodoro technique alternates focused work with short breaks and adds a longer break after a set number of sessions. This planner converts task hours into sessions and the total time the task will occupy.
The Formula
Sessions = ⌈Focus minutes ÷ Pomodoro minutes⌉; Total time = Focus minutes + Short and long breaksFrequently Asked Questions
What if the task takes longer than planned?
Add another cycle or increase the focused work estimate. The session count rounds up, so a partial final pomodoro is still counted as a full session.
Can I change the 25-minute pomodoro?
Yes. The 25/5 rhythm is a convention, not a requirement. Longer focus blocks can work better for writing or programming, while shorter ones suit revision.
