#6: The Pomodoro To-Do List: How to Integrate Tasks with Your Focus Sessions

Turning Intentions into Actions


A timer is useless without a clear task to work on. The most effective way to use the Pomodoro Technique is to pair it with a well-defined to-do list.


A Simple Workflow for Success:


1. Plan Your Day: Before you start your first timer, list the tasks you want to accomplish for the day. Our Focus Timer has an integrated to-do list for this purpose.

2. Estimate Your Pomodoros: Next to each task, estimate how many 25-minute sessions it will take. This helps you be realistic about your daily goals.

3. Choose Your Task: Select one task from your list.

4. Start the Timer: Work only on that single task for the entire 25-minute session.

5. Check It Off: When the timer rings, take your break. If you finished the task, check it off. Feels good, right?


This combination of a to-do list and a timer creates a powerful feedback loop that keeps you motivated and on track.
