My preferred behaviour for pomodoro timers is: start the break countdown automatically at the end of a pomodoro, but wait for the user to click to start the next pomodoro. Does it do that?
For everyone who has not tried the pomodoro technique (25 minutes focused work, 5 minutes everything else): give it a try! I'm constantly surprised at how much I can get done in 25 minutes.
- jastr 10y agoDeveloper here - it doesnt auto-start the break timer. Interesting that you would want to start the break countdown but not the next work timer.
- Veen 10y agoI prefer this too. I'm strict about work intervals but flexible about break intervals. Usually so that I can use the break to chat to my gf, go for a short walk, or make a cup of tea or whatnot without worrying about going over by a couple of minutes and having to reset the timer.
- f_allwein 10y agoYes, that's what I meant. If the break does not start automatically, I tend to forget to trigger it, whereas if the next pomodoro does start automatically, it may catch me in the middle of doing something else.
