Pomodoro
This is a Shortcut for the Pomodoro
What this shortcut does
Timer for the Pomodoro time management technique. Originally created by /u/osnipassos and tweaked by /u/bradart, /u/redv1ew und u/lentys. Original shortcut can be found here: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/115378903bd9482987c3c7a6af7b8bdd and through this reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/shortcuts/comments/9jm2wu/any_tip_for_making_a_pomodoro_timer_shortcut/ There are six steps in the original technique: Decide on the task to be done. Set the pomodoro timer to 25 minutes Work or better complete on the task End work when the timer rings and put a checkmark on a piece of paper If you have fewer than four checkmarks, take a short break (5 minutes), then go to step 2. After four pomodoros, take a longer break (30 minutes), reset your checkmark count to zero, then go to step 1. From the original shortcut-Post: The stages of planning, tracking, recording, processing and visualizing are fundamental to the technique. In the planning phase, tasks are prioritized by recording them in a "To Do Today" list. This enables users to estimate the effort tasks require. My changes: - asks for a new or existing task everytime a 25 minute iteration starts - changed short breaks to 5 minutes - added my LaunchCuts tags (can be removed) - added Things and Drafts to my personal version
