Need a balance between deep work and regular breaks? A 25-minute timer is a classic productivity tool - long enough to dive into a task, short enough to prevent burnout. Popularized by the Pomodoro Technique, this structured focus session helps you work with time, not against it.

By setting a 25-minute work block, you create a sense of urgency, making it easier to start tasks and maintain momentum. Whether you’re tackling a big project, studying, or working through admin, a visual countdown keeps you engaged without the mental clutter of clock-watching.

How to use a 25-minute timer effectively:

• Power through a focused work session before taking a break

• Write, study, or read with full concentration

• Make headway on a big task without feeling overwhelmed

• Batch small tasks, like emails, planning, or organizing, into a single session

• Use it as a Pomodoro sprint: 25 minutes on, 5 minutes off
