A slow read
Tell the planner how long your work will take and it returns the number of focus blocks, every break in between and the clock time you will finish. The point of the Pomodoro method is not the tomato; it is removing the constant decision of \"should I stop now\" by deciding it in advance.
Plan your focus session
In minutes. A rough estimate is fine.
Pick what you can hold without drifting.
For a finish time and timeline.
The numbers assume you stay on the task during each block. If you keep getting pulled away, shorten the block rather than the break: a 25 minute block you finish beats a 50 minute one you abandon halfway.
That is enough for now. Close the tab, and let it settle.
