Pomo

pomo is a simple CLI implementation of the Pomodoro Technique. It was written for use on a Linux desktop but can easily be ported over to other platforms.

Background

The Pomodoro Technique is simple and effective time management technique:

• Decide on a task you want to accomplish
• Break the task into timed intervals (pomodoros), [approx. 25 min]
• After each pomodoro take a short break [approx. 3 - 5 min]
• Once all pomodoros are completed take a longer break [approx 15 - 20 min]
• Repeat
