Question 1

Why 25 minutes?

Accepted Answer

Research shows that 25 minutes is long enough to make meaningful progress but short enough to maintain intense focus. However, you can customize the duration - many people find 30 or 45-minute sessions work better for deep work.

Question 2

What should I do during breaks?

Accepted Answer

Step away from your screen. Stretch, walk, drink water, or do a quick breathing exercise. Avoid social media or email during short breaks - these can pull you out of your focused state.

Question 3

Does the timer work if I switch tabs?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The timer continues running in the background even if you switch to other browser tabs or applications.
